Well, I see these are old posts, but anyone has come up with something, I also would appreciate help. I have one of these, but I'll tell you right now I have take mine apart. I'm in the process of recovering it. It is a table model.
There is no label or stamping under or on the turntable, nor under the turntable base or on the bottom of the case. My unit is stamped in gold under the lid KNOX FURNITURE MFG. COMPANY, HIGHT POINT, N.C. so that differs with the one in Polk.
I did find a stamping on the bottom of the motor. It is stamped UNITED AIR CLEANER, CHICAGO, IL. Another mystery to me. What in the world would an air cleaner company have to do with victrolas? I did find a post about one on Radio Banter. That person's unit was from Bogalusa Furniture of Bogalusa, Louisiana, same as mine. I'm guessing Knox Furniture had companies in different states. Of course all of this has led me to dead ends. I'm wondering about what year they were made and any other details.
Any help appreciated.
