Key Escutcheon Needed

Post by downsouth »

Hey guys, I am in need of the upper key escutcheon for a Victor XVII or 130. I just picked up a VE-XVII and when I got it I found that this part was missing. As always, any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Wes

I don't have one, but just in case anyone may have some spare escutcheons, the one Wes is looking for has a curved profile on the back, not flat.

Thanks John, you are correct. That is the one. Several years ago I ran across one on another phonograph site for sale for cheap and I snagged it up. I held onto it for a couple years until a friend of mine needed it and I passed it along to him. Now I am in need of one again myself, what luck!

Regards, Wes

that's not the easiest of parts to find. you're probably better off contacting vollema or a dealer like that, unless you're trying to find a bargain as well.

Hi Brian, You are correct, maybe not the easiest part to find, but a few have been on Ebay in the last year or so, I just did not need it at the time. I got a lower escutcheon for the same type machine about a year ago from Charley Hummel. I'm not looking for a steal but a reasonable price is expected. This is one of only a couple parts I need to complete this machine.

Regards, Wes
