VE 10-50

Post by GroverOverton08 »

I have an opportunity from a junk sale to purchase a Victor VE 10-50 it looks rough. How hard are these to repair?

The VE 10-50 is a partially electric machine so a lot of parts might have to be replaced. I don't own any electrical machines so I don't know how hard it would be to source the replacements. Also is it a 10-50X (ac) or 10-50U (combo ac/dc motors)?

Be sure to look up Samuel Murchison Seka on the interwebs for some music and phonograph reading material.

This is incorrect..... The only thing electric on the 10-50 is the motor and the light bulb. It is an Acoustic reproduction machine. The changer can be somewhat of a challenge, but get with Mark Lynch for changer pot metal replacement kit and rebuild information. These are nice machines...... I have probably owner 10 or more in my collecting history.

Is the changer system not electric?

It is not "all electric". It is an acoustic phonograph, with an electric drive motor that powers the turntable & changer mech.

Ok. I corrected my original response for consistency.
