The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hello All,

I'm trying to save an early Victor VV-IV Type M machine I bought several months ago. This is the first design VV-IV that used a nickel plated steel grille. It's in fairly good shape and mostly complete except it's missing the grille. I'm looking for a nice grille, and possibly a motorboard. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Steve

If you don't find the parts are you going to part it out or would you buy another one in decent shape but missing the turntable, reproducer, and crank?

At this point I'm trying to save it. No plans to part it out, but I am keeping my eyes open for another.

OK, pulled it out of the Lindstrom cabinet----Ser. # 5876, missing the turntable and reproducer, thought I was missing the crank and am partially (have the thread in shaft but the flat stock with wooden knob) are missing.

Thank you. Would it be possible to see some photos?
