Hey all,

In search of TONE ARM w/ ORTHOPHONIC REPRODUCER FOR VICTOR VV 4-3. Anyone?

Thanks!
Steve

What machine did that one come off of?

The one in the photo was sold. The base was not the proper size and the reproducer needed work. I need just the toner arm and orthophonic reproducer for my 4-3. Currently has an exhibition reproducer with toner arm to fit it.

Running the risk of appearing to be a jerk for saying this, but please, stop referring to it as a "toner" arm. It's a "tone" arm. Sorry. If I had one, I'd give it to you.

Or, as the owner's manual for my VV-XI-G (1917) called it, "taper tube." Wonder what VTMCo was calling it in the orthophonic era?

Sorry in the IT field for too long haha! Printer toner. Reproducer Tone arm. Printer..Music...hmmm...Ok I got it! Not a jerk at all! I would have done the same to me!!

Henry, they called it that piece of plumbers pipe that connects the needle box lol.

I thought my toilet sounded a lot better this morning. Now I flush with pride, as the saying goes.
