261. RCA Victor Record Player

Manufacturer: RCA
Original Price: $50 *
Value Today: $500- $2.000 *

Before RCA purchased the Victor Talking Machine Company in the late 1920s, the latter was the largest manufacturer of record players and phonographs in the world. RCA, a record company, bought Victor and continued its line of record players, including the Victrola.

Now, a Victrola can be worth between US$ 500 and US$ 2,000, depending on the condition. Other vintage Victor and RCA record players can also fetch a lot at auction. Vintage record players in perfect working order usually sell for US$ 180 to US$ 250, unless they are rarer and harder to find pieces, like the Victrola. The Victrola was originally produced in 1906 as a phonograph.
