VICTROLA Victor talking VV 4-7 1926 vintage antique phonograph record player

  

Vintage record player in working condition, extra needles and few records. It plays nicely and surprisingly loud. Top is a little distressed as people love to put things on top of these players. Would make a nice piece of decoration or side table with a piece of glass on top. Was likely intended as a replacement for the discontinued.

In late 1925, the Colony model had intended to be a "step-up" Orthophonic model from the basic. "Consolette"; however, the Colony offered no improvement in performance over the 4-3, and had rather large and awkward front doors. The 4-7 was subsequently introduced in the summer of 1926 as a premium small floor model, with a larger and more stylized cabinet than the 4-3. It also had a slightly larger folded (re-entrant) Orthophonic horn with much smaller front doors than did the unpopular 4-5.

The 4-7 provided remarkably good performance for such a small machine, and it had a much more substantial appearance than the 4-3. The 4-7 was available only in a mahogany finish, and included an automatic brake and nickel-plated hardware. It was a moderate success when introduced, and production was continued for over a year, ending in late 1927. It remained in the Victor Catalog the following year, indicating that quite a few remained in factory inventory.
