Victor Model P

[Guest]

Greetings, a few years back I acquired this Victor Model P. I am sure you know that this is a fairly undocumented model because it was given away as a "Premium" by stores when other purchases were made. It was also made up of parts available and took many forms. I would love to see pictures from other P owners. Mine is a straight P as opposed to a P-1, -2, or -3 and has a concert reproducer.

Never saw one. Nice to see. Thanks for sharing with us.

You need to complete the series; P-1, P-2 and P-3, if my memory correct.

That would be great but because of the way they constructed these from spares, one P-2 may not look like another P-2. I really just want to see what others have.

Here is probably the most uncommon version of a P2. The ID tag calls it a PNo.2, I've only seen three of these

in years of collection all had serial numbers below 1000. Really cheap construction, cabinet is made of some type

minimal grain type wood and painted to look like mahogany. The cover plate is thin metal in a oxidized finished.

The motor is single spring and mounted to the base. The closest match I could find was in an old English ad and listed

as a HMV No. 6 motor. Concert reproducer. Any one else have one?

I have only seen pictures of that version. Nice to have though. Is it a concert reproducer?

Here is a rarely seen Victor P model.  The case looks like a large Berliner case.  The serial number is 1002.

Here is one that I picked up at a garage sale, just missing the record hold down. Thanks.
