Old JVC/ Nivco

[hermitcrab]

I thought this was pretty unique looking , so I made her an offer , which she turned down... if it had FM radio, it might be worth it, but just AM/SW ?... in my area both bands are dead so it is just a glorified record player to me...I wish her good luck in selling https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/it ... 9d29407d37

If it has FM, it uses one of those confusing dial markings like Stromberg-Carlson used....

It has a VM changer, which is always good. I don't know what your offer was, but she will keep that thing a long time for what she is asking. You could easily put over $100 in the changer, since it not only needs what they all need, but it also needs a platter mat....

Good luck. You may end up with it yet.......

I reminds me of the Delmonico brand record players and kind of like the German shinny ones too. VM changer, that is good but not what I would expect.

Did not JVC stand for the Victor Corporation of Japan, or something like that. The Japanese arm of RCA....

[William]

JVC was founded in 1927 as the Victor Talking Machine Company of Japan

The part that drew my eye was "Very old!" It's younger than am....

Wish I could enlarge that schematic & read it.

The schematic is under the DelMonico name per Sams.

The record changer, though appearing as a V-M, is not.

It is a DelMonico SRC-4 from 1961 era.

The mechanicals in the changer appear to
have enough differences in them to have allowed
NI ppon VI ctor CO mpany to get their design patent.

A few months ago there was JVC/Nivico console for sale , even had a R2R in it... they wanted the same price as this lady is asking for this...

Interesting Mr. Mogul about the changer. It sure looks like a VM from the top but I guess seeing the schematic is the true test of who really made it.

My car has a NipponDenso alternator on it. Would that company be a distant relative of JVC/Nivco?

I can't imagine that was sold in the US. FM was on every radio-RP by this time.

The seller is close to Canada, where FM did not exist before the 90s!!

The RP is likely a Japanese version, like one I have from a DelMonico.
