There is a nail holding the ratchet gear in place instead of a pin or screw. However that that I have gone through it more, all the motor needs is some greasing. The speed control knob is stuck in position. Something is too tight. Does the gold knob on top loosen?

Can someone please advise me as to what part I need to replace this nail holding the gear in place.

A parts supplier will have a suitable "tapered pin".
It looks like this example that's used in a clock motor ...

Thank you for providing that. This is very helpful.

Here is a comparison too.

The speed control arm has been modified, but may still function correctly.
The missing slotted guide may help if it is not maintaining the proper speed.

I just noticed that on my speed control arm. The two metal pieces came apart and now it is too short. My speed control arm must have broken at some point and then it was modified. Will a new arm and guide be difficult to track down?

The Victor 6 did have a yielding turntable -- viewtopic.php?t=51183&p=305130
(As is also noted in "Look for the Dog")

Here's some more info -- http://www.victor-victrola.com/Victor%20VI.htm

Joshua, that's a FANTASTIC find for $125.00! As Django notes, you could probably sell it, as is, for about 2K. (Unfortunately, that's about the least that a fair-to-good condition mahogany replacement horn will cost. )

In Look For The Dog, he says that the yielding turntable VI began in 1908, which would have had the later, worm gear motor. The link that you posted confirms that the bevel gear motor VI should have a ball bearing setup and no yielding turntable.

Adding to the motor conversation, my motor matches the one in this post.
The number is 5092.

This leads me to believe my motor is correct for my machine. Is yours marked 6 or vi?

Is my turn table platter incorrect since it is gold plated and not nickel?
