[Phono-L] Questions about a General Phonograph Model E

[Steven Medved]

Hello Bruce,

Here is some information.  I wrote with a person on eBay that was selling a 2-65 and below is the info I found.  I have not found anything further about portables from the the 1930's or later.

The VV 2-65 was a 
premium portable model introduced around 1930, after RCA had purchased the 
Victor Talking Machine Company. It featured gold plated hardware, a wood case covered with a 
textured brown fabric material brown covering. Like the VV 2-55, it
used an Orthophonic Sound Box  and a single spring motor.  The 2-65 was discontinued
around 1933.

> I could be wrong, but there doesn't seem to be any information on RCA Victor Suitcase Style crank Victrolas made after 1930. I can't find any on line information as to the various models and when they were made. The one shown in the video simply says Model 02. I have never been able to pinpoint the year it was first offered to the General Public.
