The VV 4-7 was a step up from the lowest priced VV 4-3 floor model, with a slightly larger and more stylized cabinet and folded Orthophonic horn. It was introduced in mid-1926, and was probably intended to replace the discontinued Colony (VV 4-5) which had not done well with buyers. It was available only in a mahogany finish, and included an automatic brake and nickel-plated hardware. It was discontinued from the Victor catalog in 1928; however, factory production of this model was ceased in late 1927.
The original 1926 selling price of the 4-7 was $125.00. An estimated total of 73,264 Victrola 4-7's were produced based on factory information, however there is some evidence more may have been produced.
The 4-7 was also available with an electric motor option (VE 4-7) for $35 extra. A total of 3,433 electric versions were built.
The current collector database shows the earliest existent VV 4-7 to be S/N 511 and the latest to be S/N 72847.
