@skoumou589 It's not a Victrola, but an HMV 202 re-entant made in UK between 1927 and 1931. It's believed that less than 1000 of this model were produced, with HMV sales records indicating less than 300 were sold in Britain before remaining stocks were sold off in 1931/32 at half price, most of which seem to have been shipped to Australia & New Zealand where electricity was still unavailable in many areas. They're actually a better machine than anything Victor ever produced..
