WANTED: Victrola Turntable Cap thigga magiggie

Post by Mr Grumpy »

Hey gang,

I have a Victrola XII I'm trying to complete that is missing the threaded cap that holds the
platter (turntable) down. I'm guessing the early XVI's used the same cap?

I'm not sure if Ron Sitko makes these, but he isn't answering his phone and I always get confused
about his hours of operation so I thought someone here might be able to help?

Looking forward to many many replies....

Ron S. is most likely in Orlando right now and won't be available until sometime next week at the earliest. He spends some time there after the show but I don't know much. I believe the VV-XII and the VTLA share the same cap but I'm not sure. I have both and will try to remember to check them out and let you know.

Thanks for the info Curt, maybe BRANDON will update the links section?

Jim,
Much appreciated. I figured they were the same but it would be great to know for sure. Were they gold plated?

The Victor VI, VTLA, later L-Doors, VV XII, use the same cap. The Victor V uses the same cap, but it is nickel.
