Victor VV 8-12 Question

Post by Willysx1 »

I just picked up a VV 8-12 in very good shape. The Data Book says it has Quadruple Springs but there are only 2 spring barrels. Is that correct? It is a late first year machine.

It's correct - - there are two mainsprings in each barrel.

Congratulations! The 8-12 is great victrola. I have owned one for just a couple of weeks and I'm very happy with it. Please post some pictures and ad a description.

The 8-12 was the first phonograph I bought back in 1982. It is a great sounding phonograph. Congrats!!!
