The Victrola 130 was actually a renamed Victor XVII, one of the most elegant 
of all the Victor floor models. Is this one in Oak or mahogany? Actually 
there were also some in Japanese laquer as well. Only 5260 of the spring 
driven models were ever produced, so it is not that common. I am not sure 
what you should offer, but it would be a wonderful addition to anyone's 
collection.

If this is a decoratively painted one, get it for as little as you can but
get it. 8-)

-Thanks!

Hope all on the group here have had a great weekend!  When watching old
movies on TCM or AMC, I am always looking for that vintage wind-up.  I don't
know
about you all, but I search for these things even when watching television!

Well, my six year old daughter and I watched Harold Lloyd's Get Out and Get
Under today and really enjoyed it.  What was so neat is that she recognized
the
tune as one that I had played before...that being Billy Murray's He'd Have
to
Get Out and Get Under!  Wanting to play the song on our wind 'er up, I went
to the stack and could not find it.  I have searched the house over and
cannot
locate it.

Would any of you have a copy of this record?  If so, please let me know.  I
would be glad to purchase it from you.  I have many 78s and may have
something
that you'd like.

Back to the Lloyd collection, my family gave me the four disc set several
years ago for Christmas and it is so fun to pull out from time to time to
watch
an episode.  Looking at those streets and stores back in the 1910s and 20s,
one
can only imagine one of those stores being a Victor Dealer and selling a
family a quality Victor horn machine or Victoria!  I can just imagine a
family
proudly taking their Victor, VI home to play.

This group is known to have much knowledge on antique phonographs.  Please
advise on what I found last week.  I spotted a nice Victoria 130 in an
antique
shop in Charlotte, N.C.  It was simply beautiful and looked as well as it
played.  It had the No. 2 reproducer and all.  The owner of the shop was out
and
the person watching the store did not know what he wanted for it.  If I do
go
back, and it is still there, what would be a good price?

As always, thanks much for the fellowship and information/assistance that
you
may offer!  Have a fantastic week.
