RCA Victor Model PR-21
3/13/2001 2:35:12 AMPLEASE HELP IDENTIFY!!!
I have come across a working (no needle) RCA Victor (Victorola?) cabinet record player. I'm not totally sure what to say so:

Here are the details:

*Model PR-21
*Serial # RVG 01916
*Stamped under the warranty is 941 (does this mean Sep 1941?)
*Six tubes. All orig RCA tubes.
*Record player with a 78 setting and a 16 setting. Has inputs (Int/Ext) for other equipment (radio). Has treble, bass, and balance plastic setting knobs.
*To access the turntable, one must lift a lid. On the bottom of the lid is a green label with the dog and phonograph above the word Victorola.
*The front is a speaker, and the side rotates outward and contains another speaker, hence the "stereo".
*The front is tan stitched wicker as is the side.
*Seems to be cherrywood?
*The front says "stereo orthophonic high-fidelity dual amplifier".
*There is a two inch wide plastic pair of what looks like "wings" on the upper right front of the cabinet, which lights up when turned on.
*Seems to work electronically, but I have not attempted to get any sound to emit.
*Stands on four art deco metal peg legs (pale bronze in color; they screw off.
*Measures approx 4 feet wide and 3 feet tall.

Thanks for any help. This things is so cool. I'd love to hear all about it!! Thanks!!

I have just obtained an older RCA Victrola Stereo like yours but I am sure not as nice.
Yours sounds like a really nice unit. I am looking for direct replacement speakers.
Its a Model VHT-33 W. It has Approx. 15" x 9" Bass, 4 x 6 mids and 3" Tweeters.
As I search, I will keep an eye out for anything that might help you!
I have you book marked!

: You should look on ebay under needles or stylus. Try to get a model # off of the plastic housing for the neddle called the cartridge and keep it handy while you search.
