The motor of the machine. It was completely plated/ Below an add for the Victrola XVI and XII from late 1909/early 1910![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWUS-ZSNacxrmnvH_V0nfwl3v-3KHlsX_vmNVmWvyw4yDutyPU-WaCiOMwO7eOy_RlKyPFEPsH5wZ26VwZEpSnlkunzs9vBwfos90dNKsNfzdfW3x6pio750NG_OrbjdzbMfFH/s400/ed_1.jpg)
It was earmarked to be the great smaller machine to compliment the Victor records. But it was all fancy, gold plated, mahogany, and a horn smaller than the least expensive machine. It was made for just a year....Although it was beautiful and well designed. It had such a small horn it sounded anemic. But here are a few pictures of this most bizarre machine. Victor never made another like it... It is still one of my favorites.....
