~ WANTED ~ early VICTOR VICTROLA GOLD TOP DOOR KNOB ~ See pic
It's pretty small... right at ½" in diameter. This is needed for a top door of a Pooley "flat top" Victrola cabinet....like the one pictured. Also...looking for someone to put a mainspring in the motor for this...I have the barrel removed and could ship it...Please use my regular email [email protected] or even my home phone 319-215-3595 so no text....thank you.

Being that these cabinets were made by Pooley, I believe that they are not Victor knobs and probably not consistent. I ended up going with Horton Brasses on mine
I will try to find the original knobs that I replaced, (I think that I had one of each). The Hortons are very close dimensionally and would be a good substitute until you find an original set.
My originals were a little larger than yours. Here are the knobs that I ordered.
Select Finish: Light Antique (LA)
Select Fitting: Wood Screw
H-42 ¾" Light Antique
H-42 ⅝” Light Antique

Pooley may have just used what they could get. There were at least three variants, (the machines with the little hidden drawer, the later machines in the first batch without the hidden drawer and the final flat tops with the worm drive, horn with the larger casting and smaller drawer, (traits that carried over to the dome top VTLA and L-Door VV-XVI).snakeo1 wrote: Fri Aug 09, 2024 7:10 pmHmmm...mine is only ¾" in length.Kevin Clark wrote: Fri Aug 09, 2024 1:06 pm Diameter of knob is .535.

The Hortons that I referenced were the same size as the knobs that were with mine. With something this old the knobs that we think are original may have replaced lost or damaged knobs.
Congratulations for finding a flat top Pooley. Just out of interest, would you be willing to post some additional pictures and add the serial number?
