It’s going really good, got the motor serviced and new springs installed. The back bracket is finished being repainted and pinstriped. Got the turntable bumpers installed. The metal parts are being plated this week. I’m about to order a spear point horn. Just need an original crank and I’m in business

I’ll post photos as soon as the gold parts are returned.

I had started a thread about Victor back bracket decals. I posted some pictures of my Monarch with Eduardo’s decals. I had hoped to see some Cline decals for comparison, but none were posted. I look forward to seeing your back bracket.

Update, all gold parts have been plated and returned. The motor has had new springs put in, and the speed control arm corrected. Still waiting on the back bracket.

If interested I have a paper mache horn for the early Victor 6 I would be willing to part with.
