<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 185603, member: 37"]Yes, this confirms this was an RCA Victor record player cabinet. Probably had a radio in there with it based on the size but possibly not. Victrola was the patent name for a brand of hand crank record players (The Victor talking machine). It has become synonymous with all such players much as Kleenex is synonymous with tissues. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have not heard the term Victrola used in conjunction with electric players such as yours undoubtedly was. The brand became RCA Victor. With the continued use of Nipper and the talking machine as their logo, I can see how someone might think this was a Victrola cabinet. As an aside, the logo is supposed to portray Nipper paying attention to <i>"His Master's Voice"</i> and was the company slogan used in conjunction with advertising for many years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
