Victrola fishing box


Recommended Posts

  • 3 weeks later...

Hello, I used to have my dads old victrola, unfortunately leaving it in the barn killed it.

 

But I do have a roll wire on a reel that was used for hand lining. I have enclosed some photos.

 

I am not sure what metal the wire is.  A magnet doesn't stick to it. I tried scraping it to see if it was coated copper. Maybe Aluminium.

 

I would like to sell the set up. If your interested let me know. I have no idea on what to   ask for it.  Make an offer i can't refusePXL_20230314_130318655.thumb.jpg.8b6a383c604320245de0997507f6f7d6.jpgPXL_20230314_130324516.thumb.jpg.c8171da604fc1fcf4363d932fad25f62.jpgPXL_20230314_130330047.thumb.jpg.6c7700c79ccb310ec948ce58c3028765.jpgPXL_20230314_130335438.thumb.jpg.6194b322c1c0133bf60f988b10b5838c.jpg

Maisie - it is a little difficult to tell from the pic but I think it is monel wire which is a composite alloy of nickel mixed with copper. It is very soft and has a similar sink rate to copper wire and was used by many folks for jerking copper like the use of the victrola.

Thanks, you are so smart! 

 

It did look like it had a copper shine to it deep inside. I checked the price for new $324.00. I don't think anyone would pay that much. But if they would like to, shoot me a message.

Otherwise B/O

 

I though maybe that Joel Radecki would want it.

 

I will write that down.

 

Cheers!!
