I also have a later model from 1926, and it’s a VV 8-4 which was one of the original Orthophonics and it plays well. It will also plays 78’s including later ones from the 1950’s including early rock & roll.

I dont recommend playing anything after 1930s (shellac records) using the metal needle. Albums from 1940s and 50s were made differently with different softer compounds meant for an electric pickup, not the metal needle these use. You can destroy your albums.
@mikeb64505 жыл бұрын
electrically recorded discs (post-1925 on) don't play as well on these acoustic machines. That piece is the diaphragm or the soundbox. Steel needles should only be used once. More than that damages the record. I love your showroom.
@Musicradio77Network3 жыл бұрын
Electrically recorded discs can only play on Victor Orthophonics including my VV 8-4 and it sounds better than the acoustic one.

Just curious…what model is this? The model number starts with a “VV” (for Victor Victrola) on the brass nameplate on the left side. Also, with the model number and serial number, you can place the date of manufacture within about a month.

Avoid playing electricity recorded 78s on acoustic machines, they weren't designed for steel needle play. Its ruins the record and reproducer. It was so stressed, sounded horrible! There's a huge technology gap there, use modern players for electric records!! Orthophonic reproducers can be destroyed by playing 40s and 50s 78s. Why on earth would anyone think that's acceptable? It just sounds awful and again it ruins records and will break down the orthophonic reproducer. It only shows how little you actually know about the phonographs, 78s and the different types of recordings appropriate for steel needle play.

Electrically recorded 78’s can be played on any of the Victor Orthophonics like the VV 8-4, and it has decent sound than acoustic one. I also have my Camp-Fone by Health Builders Portable wind-up acoustic phonograph and it runs well, and it plays acoustically recorded 78’s than the electrically recorded 78’s, and it was compatible to play electrically recorded 78’s (1925-57) on there. I only use soft tone steel needles to play them.
