Playing with this Vic O that I got at auction recently. Missing in action is the horn and elbow (seriously doubt if I'll ever come up with these parts). The motor runs good but the pawl that keeps the motor from unloading is not working, I'm not sure if the pawl has a spring to keep tension on it, it moves as it should but will not catch, it is also missing one of the gov weights.
I'm trying to remove the reproducer. It refuses to come off the tone arm. It moves freely, I can push it in, turn it back and forth, it starts to come off but after about 1/8th of an inch that's it. Is that small button on the reproducer flange the remnant of a some sort of retaining screw? I can't find a good photo of an exhibition which shows this. Its probably a waste as the needle holder on the reproducer is also missing in action...The number 12781 is on the back of the reproducer, presume this is for dating purposes?
Other than these issues I'll be good to go.
Have a good weekend. Bill K
