Use for old stamped turntables
I have accumulated over 50 stamped turntables. I have never been asked for one in over 40 years of working on old phonographs. Are there any other uses for them? I hate to scrap them but they are taking up a lot of valuable space. I have already stripped the old felt off of them to re-use.

Use them as swing seats and hang them in your neighbors' trees...

Re: Use for old stamped turntables
I am looking for a small turntable for an early Victrola 4 (metal grill model). Any possibilities? Thanks, ---Herb

Turntable Wind Chimes
On one turntable drill 12 small holes around the perimeter and one in the middle. This turntable is hung horizontally from the center hole.
About 24 turntables have 2 holes drilled in each. 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock.
These 12 holes strings are strung with black musky line of various lengths. Each 'string' of turntables should vary in number and lengths, lightly touching each other.
2 of these...Boom 50 turntables gone.

Not sure. Is it the same as later VV-IV models? 10"?emerson wrote: Sat Jun 22, 2024 4:01 pm I am looking for a small turntable for an early Victrola 4 (metal grill model). Any possibilities? Thanks, ---Herb

Herb and Ken,
Here is the type of 10" turntable found on both of my VV-IVs with metal grilles. The only difference I've observed between the two machines is the brake styles.

Re: Use for old stamped turntables
So far, I am finding mostly 12" turntables. I will keep digging and let you know if I find the 10" one for your VV-IV.

Bob C....How "tall" is that "stem" that accepts the center spindle. Measured off the stamped platter please.

Any off-brand, or are they all Victor?
