The
VV 4-1 was sold only for export, and was marketed primarily in Latin America
beginning in late 1925. It used a cabinet which was identical to the
Consolette (or VV 4-3), which was a popular phonograph in
the US market. But while the US version featured advanced Orthophonic
reproduction, the VV 4-1 used older pre-Orthophonic mechanical components
in the newer cabinet design, making it sound and perform identical to the
earlier generation of Victrolas. This marketing strategy was obviously intended
to "use-up" leftover pre-Orthophonic parts and sell them in an export package.
The original 1925 selling price of the 4-1 was $85.00 US. An estimated total of only 1,050 Victrola 4-1's were produced.
