Victor Motor ID help needed. Brass barrel. What machines?

Post by outune »

I guess instead of ID, I'm mostly wanting to know which machines may have used this motor. Specifically the three-spring model. According to Harold Braker's identification guide it was used in an early "D" and also in the early Vic 6 (nickel-plated) -- He also mentions Canadian Berliners and Zonophones. Is there a difference in the motor when used for US Victor machines as opposed to other uses??

My early Vic 6, serial# 12xx uses this same motor-- nickel plated.

I'd appreciate help identifying what other machines used the motor in it's "Not-nickel-plated" form-- Front mount?? Rear mount only?

Thanks in advance for the help-

Interesting.
Could it have been used in the MS or one of its variations, perhaps?

The the DeLuxe and the Monarch Special used this motor. Victor the Sixth used a nickle plated version with a balancing ball bearing turntable, as did the earliest of the Pooley Victrola machines.

Thanks for the information-- Does anyone have the same motor in a Canadian Berliner or a Zonophone as Harold Braker indicated??
