HI folks
  I purchased an upright Victrola X the other day, and when I lifted the motorboard, I found this paper tag lying inside, identifying the finish as fumed oak. There are a lot of other areas for information on it, but sadly none are filled out. I submitted it to Paul Edie of Victrola.com, and he had never seen one either.
  I am sure Fabrizio and Paul must have seen one at some point, it's probably in one of their books somewhere.
  I bought the machine for resale at the CAPS show, and though I want to keep the tag, I don't feel I should separate it from the Victrola as it has been inside there for almost a hundred years.
  Here's the link. I scanned both sides of the tag and arranged them in one picture.
