Here's a c.1909 Victor V disc phonograph with a matching original Victor Spear Tip horn.
Condition is excellent, and the phonograph runs well. Nickel-plated 3-spring motor and gearing (same one that was used in the Victor VI), and a bearing-cased sub-platter (also, same as the one used in the Victor VI). Governor is working properly, and the speed is steady. Plays multiple sides with a single winding.Oak cabinet retains its original finish, data plate is clean and legible. Scarce Lyon & Healy tag is likewise clean and legible. Corner columns and capitols are original and undamaged. No missing molding, no damaged trim.Back-bracket enamel is original, as are the decorations. Blue highlights are still prominent, and the Japanned finish is still clean.Clean mechanism, clean turntable, with clean original felt.  Exhibition reproducer has a good diaphragm and is loud and dynamic (see video below).Original Victor Spear Tip horn is outstanding, with no damage, no repairs, no spliced in sections, no splintered wood, no warping, no rim splits, no issues. Clean collar with nice original nickel-plating. Patent data is blind-stamped into the metal and still legible. Nipper decal is an older replacement, essentially indistinguishable from the original decal. Overall, this is one of the nicest Spear Tip horns you’re likely to encounter, and as you can see in the photographs, the golden oak finish is almost identical to that of the phonograph, so you get a perfect match, not a forced marriage.I'll include with the phonograph an early, acoustically recorded 78RPM record, and if you get tired of listening to it, there are plenty of other titles available on ebay and elsewhere.  Hundreds of early them  show up on ebay on a weekly basis, and they typically sell just a few dollars each.  If you're not already familiar with how to operate an early disc phonograph, don't worry.  I'll provide you with simple, easy to understand set-up instructions,  so you'll be able to use it shortly after you unpack it.

I've been selling and shipping antiquephonographs, antique radios and antique scientific apparatus for morethan 25 years. When you purchase an antique phonograph from me, you'llreceive a phonograph that arrives safely because it's been carefullypacked (by me, not by some well-intentioned butnonetheless confounded, doe-eyed teenager working at the UPS store whowouldn't know a phonograph from a farm tool), and you'll receive aphonograph that includes thorough but easy-to-understand set-up andoperating instructions, so you won't be left scratching your head, trying to figure out how it works.  Sure, you can probably get a lowerprice from Joe and Janet Barn-Find, but when your "bargain" arrivesbroken, and without any hint of how it works or how you might be able toput it back together, you'll realize that you really do get exactlywhat you pay for.That's about it.  I will carefully prep everything for shipping and pack everything carefully and properly.  
When you've finished checking out my ebay listings this week, take a look at my TechnoGallerie website, where you can buy hard-to-find antique phonographs, antique radios, antique cameras and other gadgets you're not likely to see anywhere else.  Just type TechnoGallerie in the address line of your web browser and hit the enter key. TechnoGallerie has a newsletter, too, and if you take a second to sign up for it, you'll receive an email update whenever I list something new on the site -- typically once a week.

Due to the size of the horn, the phonograph can be shipped only to addresses in the United States. Auction participants with no prior feedback history should also contact me before placing a bid.  Buyer prepays and includes shipping.
