Latest acquisition
Graham Spencer:
I've no idea whether this is a bargain or not; I've just got a C/F Viktoria in an auctiion for 70 Euros. I bought it on a commission bid and picked it up at the auction house's local saleroom today. It's complete except for one strap bracket, the bellows is airtight, has all its corners and just needs retaping (Oh joy!) and all the mechanical bits seem to work. There was something rattling loose in the bellows, which on opening it up turned out to be 10 reedplates from the bass chord block. The fun, I suppose, will be working out which goes back where......

At 70 euros it's surely a bargain...given you're one of those clever people who do their own work it's surely worth that for parts alone...good luck... :|glug
Rob2Hook:
The Viktoria is a hidden gem! The reeds are good quality and the action far surpasses anything Hohner churn out nowadays. Mine sounds really good even though it had to have rust scraped off most of the reeds... Once you get all the reeds back in and try playing it you may feel it worth a new set of bellows! I'd like another to convert into a D/G 2 1/2 row.

I also landed me one of these from Germany in nearly new conditions for its age.
GPS can you show us pics of your box?

I'll try to find time to take a few tomorrow.
