Victrola VV-IX c.1912 - Is This Normal?

[estott]

I just tried this with my 1918 XI, and by golly, there was a little "wiggle" in the horn opening !


I never knew... I never had any occasion to disturb the horn in a Victrola.


I guess that explains why that horn elbow is such a beefy iron casting.

It was supposed to do a lot of things, but mostly to keep the cabinet from resonating with the horn on certain frequencies
