Re: Victor III in Arizona
It also has a dreadful aluminum horn elbows. In spite of the tone arm and elbow, it looks like a nice machine.
I'll date myself here... I said "dreadful aluminum elbow." When I started collecting in the 70's my mentor collectors talked about the first provider of replacement parts supplied by Carl Frick (sp?). He offered Victor horn elbows made from a plumbing fixture. If they ran into a machine that had too many Frick parts it was known as a "Frick-O-Phone." When the aluminum elbows were offered in the later 70's we were actually delighted with them. They may not have looked exactly like originals but they looked ok and were functional. Todays elbows are a huge improvement. Jerry Blais
