I bought my Vic Type 6 (as the ID tag states) with steel and brass horn about 1971 at an estate auction for $100. It was not exactly a song and dance but it was pretty reasonable.

You know, we lovers of vintage phonos can't get away from them even while watching the old sitcom Leave It To Beaver. I was going through some records this morning and the television just happened to be on. I just happened to look up and could hardly believe my eyes. Ward and June were talking in front of a gorgeous Victor VI with a speartip horn! Yep, a Victor VI machine! I called for my bride who happened to be downstairs so that she could see it. I immediately did some research on the episode: The Title: Happy Weekend Year Ran: 12/25/1958 I wish that I could have been the set director and would have been able to make an offer on that 50 year old (at that time) phonograph. One could have probably got it for a song and dance (no pun intended). The only thing is, I was only 1 month and 9 days old at the time. This means that I turn the big 5-0 myself next month! Anyway gang, just thought that I'd share this with you. Take care and God bless.
