Victor Victrola VV-XVI c.1913 (s/n 87059F)

A Symphony of Sound: The Victrola XVI

Introduced in 1906, the Victrola XVI, or “Victrola the Sixteenth”, marked a revolution in phonograph design. This elegant cabinet, with its hidden horn, was a far cry from the cumbersome machines that had dominated the market at the time. The VV-XVI’s innovative design, featuring “tone doors” for volume control and a concealed soundbox, offered a refined listening experience that captivated affluent consumers.

This beautifully restored 1913 Victor Victrola VV-XVI Gramophone is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the Victor Talking Machine legacy. This particular gramophone/phonograph is dressed in stunning solid mahogany and has been mechanically serviced throughout to ensure that it is in perfect working order and has a beautiful rich sound quality. This Victrola VV XVI is constructed from high-quality materials, including mahogany, brass, and nickel. The cabinet is constructed entirely of solid mahogany, which gives it a rich, majestic, earthy color.The brass-plated parts, including the crank, the tone arm and accent hardware, add to the phonograph’s elegance.

This machine has been 100% serviced mechanically, including a complete rebuild of the reproducer (the mica is original, the gaskets – which perish over time and greatly diminish the sound quality, have been replaced with fresh genuine Victor factory gaskets). *Record albums/books not included.
