OH! Lou this Graphophone is just AWSOME!!! I`m restoring a Victor MS 17393- at present. I`ve been playing the fool out of it as the cabnet & 3 sprins motor is done. all I need is the correct horn, Someone has fashond a LARGE Edison horn to it! It looks Great and Sounds AWSOME with this horn! But I would like to find the original. And keep the large one for outdoor use, as it is quit loud. I also have a Victor 1 & also 2 that I love! As well. love this song!!!
Can I have the motor+Horn from your Victor 1,so I can complete mine.?The large gear on the spring barrel is stripped.JK.What in the heck is a Victor MS 17393?
LOL ! :-o It is a really large 3 spring Victor talking machine-gramophone. with an ornate cabinet made around 1907-1910. I do have an extra motor or two if you need one for a Victor 2 that will fit into a Victor 1. But I don't have an extra horn. Sorry. Let me know.
Yes,I redid the Motor and cleaned up the woodwork,also re striped the gold on the horn.I could have refinished the horn,but wanted to keep things as close to original as possible.

@roybo1930 ,I just found in the Victor Data book what you were talking about.The horn is black with a brass bell,just like the horn on my Victor P.
