Just brought home a nice Victrola VV-XVI serial number 72289E with no motor. Anybody have a spare 3 spring with double cut spindle? OK if it is broken as long as the parts are all there.
Thanks!
Cliff

Could someone post a photo of the motor that goes in this Victrola? Is it the same as an "L" door? Thanks, Jerry

It is my belief that this Victrola uses a variation of the L-door motor, with direct wind. The two are incompatible, and this motor was also used on the 1913 XIV. I could totally be mistaken, but I'm fairly confident in this fact. This is a sold eBay listing of what you'll need. The standard L-door motor has gearing in place to move the crank.

I think he is right. I once owned an extra of this style motor and traded it off because I couldn’t find s machine for it. Direct wind, cranks on the opposite side of the l-door version, and the speed control is in the rear.

Hi Matt,
Didn't you give me a motor like this? Cliff is a good fellow. If it's the motor he needs I will just pass it off to him.
Thanks, Jerry

Thanks for posting that picture, it'll preserve the usefulness of this topic long after the eBay listing is gone

The Victrola book says this version 'E' has almost the same motor as the last L-door with 3 springs, double cut spindle, a 5/16" female winding crank, indirect winding. The motor for the last L-door is described the same except the winding crank is ¼" instead of 5/16".
Though the motor on Ebay had a quad cut spindle, it might still have worked.
Looking forward to seeing your motor, Jerry.

I couldn’t remember if it was you or Wes that I handed it off to. Yes, it is/was this motor exactly. I’m glad it will finally get used!Jerry B. wrote:Hi Matt,
