Hello all,
First time poster, so please be gentle...
In my enthusiasm to learn about a new field of mechanical things, I bought a VV 1-6 on eBay, and now I'm having a devil of a time trying to find a reproducer head that'll fit it. The original listing said it'd need a No 4 reproducer, and other folks have told me that these should be interchangeable, at least from the tonearm end. (If they fit in the case while closed is a separate question.)
I bought a Victor Orthophonic reproducer on eBay - it's a wreck, but even if I was to restore it, it looks like the inner back rubber flange is too large? It's got an inner metal support ring, so I'm not sure if the rubber (which was like rock) would've made up the gap in its original supple state, or if the thing is just too wide. Can anyone take a caliper to the back of a No 4 for me, and tell me what the inner diameter is? They seem a bit rare, and I'd rather not buy another reproducer that I can't use... But I'm also starting to worry that someone may have replaced the tonearm with something more delicate.
