[Phono-L] reproducer identification
hello everyone i was wondering if anyone could tell me what the make and or model of reproducer this is. i bought a victrola orthophonic v v 4-3 and this reproducer came with it. judging by the sloppy fit to the tone arm i would have to guess this is not the original one but i don't know. it is in need of a thumb screw which is why i would like to know which make it is. any information would be very helpful and greatly appreciated. thank you -- ATTACHMENT -- **An Attachment Was Scrubbed** Name: 2010_0428motoredison0012.JPG Type: image/jpeg Size: 75796 bytes URL: http://oldcrank.org/pipermail/phono-l/attachments/20100428/7d6ed8c8/attachment.jpe ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org

I belive that is a reproducer from a PAL portable phonograph from the 50s.

Re: [Phono-L] reproducer identification
The VV 4-3 Consolette - I have the second cabinet style of this machine - is an orthophonic. The orthophonic reproducers that were made of cast metal are prone to cracks with age, and maybe that is what happened to the reproducer on your machine - maybe a previous owner replaced it with this one. I'd track down a correct replacement orthophonic reproducer.

Re: [Phono-L] reproducer identification
thank you gentlemen for your help on this matter it is greatly appreciated. i did find an original orthophonic reproducer and will hopefully have it by mon. or tue. and by that time i will hopefully(?) have finished putting it all back together. as i have completely stripped it down and sanded every piece of wood bare. i am now in the process of restaining it and cleaning, polishing the rest of the components. the cabinet suffered quite a bit of water damage due to a major flood we had here in the fifties. which is probably when the reproducer broke and was replaced by one from the fifties. i'm looking for a thumbscrew for the pal so i can try to sell it to offset the cost of the reproducer i bought. so i can say to my wife look honey i sold something (for a change). thanks again to all. best regards dan On Wed, Apr 28, 2010 at 2:08 PM, Bryan, Ronald (DSHS/DDD) brya...@dshs.wa.gov wrote: The VV 4-3 Consolette - I have the second cabinet style of this machine - is an orthophonic.
