[Phono-L] Type of Finish on Victor VV-100

[Greg Bogantz]

    I think that is probably what was known as "Flemish oak".  Very, very 
dark, almost black with a semi-gloss finish.  I have an Edison C-250 in 
flemish oak which is a very rare finish for a DD machine.  I've seen only 
one other example.  It's the only Edison finish that looks remotely this 
dark.  The other possibilities shown in Baumbach's latest LFTD book might be 
"gunmetal" (perhaps a bit greenish or bluish) or "driftwood", but I think 
those finishes were both less glossy than what's seen in this video.  Or 
perhaps it is "Early English" as the owner speculates in the video.
