Since this website has been "on-line" for about five years now, I have had over 85,000 visitors. Of those visitors, over 5,000 have e-mailed me asking for information on vintage talking machines that they have found or are thinking of buying, asking about how to repair, where to find parts, etc.

I offer a FREE appraisal service which will give you a "ballpark" value of your vintage talking machine or related items. I will need to have a make, model number or name, condition, what type of wood the cabinet is made of, whether a table model or floor model and any other relative information you can add. Of course pictures will help in this process a lot.

Most "attic finds" are usually common Edison or Victor models, but two or three dozen of those inquiries have turned out to be quite valuable, and I have offered top dollar in an effort to purchase them.

I do not evaluate records or record collections.

Send your information and pictures to bjohnson@mrvictor.com.
