Very nice machine that you have. I have a similar style VV-VIII with the same speed control.
I am wondering if your machine's motor runs quiet? Mine seems to be noisy.

The motor in mine is quiet thanks to a thorough servicing by our very own Cliff B. (CDBPDX)I am wondering if your machine's motor runs quiet? Mine seems to be noisy.
Thanks Cliff! Jerry B.

Very nice machine, Jerry. It's amazing what a little elbow grease can do.

Re: Victrola VIII Clean-up Part 2 "The Finished Product"
I bought my VV-VIII for about $150.00 back in May. The VV-VIII runs good with the exception of motor noise. I may check to see if the governor needs replaced or maybe the spindle drive gear? Other than that, they clean up really nice and easy. I probably have no more than $165.00 into it considering, the reproducer back flange and gaskets. They sure are a bargain.
Some say the arm is too short and causes record wear, but I think its probably no more than a VV-IX.
