@@the323vlog4 Ok he’s also wrong heres the info. It’s not a victrola it’s a Brunswick model 110M, it was made by the Brunswick-Balke-Collender company. They were made from 1920-1930 and came In either Mahagony or Oak. I saw the label on the inside lid and thats how I figured out what brand it was, and the model number should be inscribed on a plate on the inside. Victrolas were made by the Victor Talking Machine company, and Victrola’s were only made by Victor. You cant call every Phonograph or Gramophone a victrola, and not every floor model gramophone made by victor is a victrola. The ones made by victor with the big horns that are exposed are just called Victors, or Gramophones. Originally Gramophone was a term associated with disc playing machines and phonographs were associated with cylinder playing machines made by Edison. But in modern times everyone uses both terms synonymously or more so phonograph, or “record player”. As for the price today they are worth around 100-200 dollars not a lot like other machines. I assume because they were a lot in production at the time they were first manufactured. Probably somewhere around 500,000+ units made. Also it doesn’t have a lot of decoration and it was a cheaper model. The more decorated and elaborate the machine is the more it was, and the more it is in today’s money as well. So it is not a rare machine and the fact that you stripped it and sprayed it with what im guessing is polyurethane devalues it a lot, because the original finish is worth more. You can put a new protective coat of shellac or beeswax because that is what they were used originally to finish the cabinets. But not strip or spray theres other ways to get around to making it look good, do your research before anything. Its worth like $30 now.

@@josephdoesmore8922 Yup, back in the day, "Victrola" referred to a particular machine from the Victor Talking Machine Company; this is a Brunswick. Over time, the term victrola came to mean ANY antique record player, just like the name "Kleenex" came to mean any brand of tissue paper. As explained above, the Victrola hid the large horn INSIDE the cabinet, so that the thing looked like just an ordinary cabinet. Older record players had the very visible and distinctive flower-shaped HORN on top. In fact, the reason why the Victrola was invented was because many housewives didn't want this large and garish (!) thing with a big a** horn atop sitting in their parlor. The Victrola effectively disguised the horn, make the machine acceptable to many more households!

Denatured alcohol will remove the shellac. However, if the wood has no, or very little damage, you can brush the denatured alcohol on to the shellac and have it reflow. No sanding, staining, or refinishing necessary! Saves time and effort ;) If the wood does have some damage, you can still reflow the shellac, and then add a little bit of colored filler into dings and deep scratches, apply a layer of shellac and it won't be visible afterwards.

I have one that has been in the family for better than 140 years. My question is on records I have a bunch of Vintage late 1800's and early 1900's records that need care and TLC. Anyone you can recommend? I'd like to reproduce my entire collection of Victrola Victor records with NEW ones that will work on the the old Victrola.

Fascinating! Yesterday I bought one of these. Looks like the exact same model. I'm curious if you know the year these were made. I'm looking forward to restoring my own.

Yup, Victrolas are generally not worth much at all; some folks will pay you to take theirs away. (Dark, heavy wood antiques IN GENERAL have lost most of their value; they have fallen out of favor and nobody wants them.) Of course, a few rare models (which this definitely is NOT) are worth much more, and condition is a factor, too. That said, it's nice that this fellow "restored" this machine and didn't put it out on the street or turn it into a lame liquor cabinet. So kudos to him!
