Trying to help a gentleman out. He contacted me needing the lid support hinge. I think i got a junk one twenty years ago and parted it. I have the support i think was on it. But he said his as two hole on the lid and two screw holes on the motor board. Any photo would be great.

Maybe they had several type. The supports i saved look like the photo below. But what you show sounds like what he described. Thanks

I once had a 4-7 that had this same lid support. I no longer have it, unfortunately, or I'd post photos. It did not have the 2 spring loaded arms shown in another post. There could well have been variations, I suppose. There often were.

According to "The Victor Data Book" by Robert Baumbach, the spring balanced lid supports were introduced with the model VV 4-7 (type A) starting with serial number 38001.

Mine is SN 11046 and has the support with two screws at each end. Nice machine. My first orthophonic. Neil

The 4-7 had spring loaded pots like a credenza. I junked a 4-7 earlier this year and have the lid supports if someone needs them. In fact I ahve all of the hardware form this model and the grille.
