Sometimes simply due to aging, the original finish has become so "alligatored" or so dark that the original beauty of the wood is no longer visible. We have been restoring Victrolas for over 22 years. We have sold our items to museums and historical societies.  Our process is very simple. The Victrola is completely taken apart.  All the old shellac or varnish is removed by hand.  A specially prepared varnish remover is used to insure to leave as much as the old patina as possible. Any repairs are performed at this time. After hand sanding, each piece is then stained to bring out the beauty of the natural wood grain of the wood. The stain and lacquer are specially formulated to replicate the original finish. Since we hand sand, the Victrola will have the age bumps, bruises and nicks.

We feel this process adds character and charm to the Victrola.   This auction is for a Victrola Table Top VV-IX, serial number 171158G. This machine was built in 1915.
