I am looking for a motor for my Pooley VTLA. It is an early flat top that has a slotted crank, s/n 884, (first batch from 1906). The motor was a 3 spring with bevel gears. The original would be the same as an early VI, but I think that a motor for a D or MS would work. A 2 spring Monarch motor would probably fit and function if I can’t get a 3 spring motor. The motor can be in need of a rebuild and I will pay a fair price.
Victor VI motor shown for reference.
Thanks
WANTED, early Victor motor, (D, VI, MS…)

Re: Wanted, early Victor motor
I couldn't quite read the date on the paper label but it looks like 1906. Is that correct?
Thanks, Jerry B.

Re: Wanted, early Victor motor
Yes, 1906. The first batch was 500, starting with No. 501. This is No. 884.
Some don’t like the style, but I do. To me, it looks like a music box on top of a matching cabinet. Being the first Victrola is pretty cool too.

I think these started with a number before 501. That tradition had not begun yet. I am pretty certain I've seen them in the 200's.

I don’t see one of these on eBay, (completed or current). It is always difficult to make an offer without some reference. Does anyone know what a fair price would be?
Thanks
Thanks

I do not know but look at this motor on ebay
Ebay 284945382744
Looks like the motor that works in a Vic V or VI or VTLA..
Hope it helps,
Joe

Would the motor out of a Third style VTLA work?
