Are you going to the Wayne show? I bet someone could sell you a motor or parts there. Jerry B.

I've checked the extras I have but they are all of a different style than what you've pictured. Is your photo of the very same model motor you need this for?

If you can post a photo of the whole motor I might be able to determine the model motor you have.
Until now I wasn't aware that there were variations in the indicator mechanism.
Hope this helps!

I have a Victor-Victrola Motor Identification chart by Harold Braker that lists your motor as a type J, manufactured prior to 1917.
Here is a link to more info, supplied by the Antique Phonograph Society:

They have wonderful resource material!
