The VV 4-30 was a compact floor-model Orthophonic phonograph produced solely for the Canadian market. It featured a small Orthophonic horn, a 2-spring motor and walnut finish. It was the lowest price Orthophonic machine sold in Canada, and measured only 34 inches in height. It had no "doors" on the front to control the volume of playback and had minimal trim. It sold new for $95.00 CDN with a spring wound motor (an electric version was not offered).  It was introduced in 1927 and discontinued around 1929. It is likely that this machine was manufactured at Victor's plant in Montreal, as it is a unique model to the Canadian market. Total production output is unknown, but based on the relatively low number of survivors today, it is not assumed to have been a very popular model.
