Looking for a reproduction ortho back bracket for a VV 4-3 (consolette). I believe it is smaller than the other ortho back brackets, Please PM with price & picture. Thanks.

Nessie (and others),

When searching for Victor parts it is always a good idea to post the serial number of your machine. Victor machines went through many iterations. For example, there are two versions of the tone arm support you are seeking. The earliest one was the self supporting version without the overhead support pin, the later ones had the overhead pin. Some parts are unique to a particular model and iteration, other parts are used widely across the entire product line. Again, posting the serial number will increase your chances of finding the right part.

Hello!

The only person who makes reproduction back brackets for the 4-3 Consolette Orthophonic is Justin Staub who owns JAS Antiques in Canton, OH. He does make both the common standard 2 ¾" base and the Larger base for the 4-3 Consolette. He usually charges $79.90 including the shipping. He sells on Ebay under JAS Antiques.

If you do not see the brackets in his Ebay store, you can contact him with the information below to ask if he has any of the Consolette brackets made and in stock at present. These are very quality cast aluminum reproductions and I have used them for many Orthophonic Victrolas and early Electrolas in my collection
