Wanted- Rear Motor Access Door For Victrola XVIII

Post by StL Bill »

I recently picked up a Victrola XVIII that was missing the rear door behind the motor and the needle holder( It is the same as a Victrola XVII.)If anyone has either of these it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bill

What size is the opening of the access door? I may have something that would work. Jerry

I have a Mahogany one from a VV-XVII. Email me and we can make sure it will work.

The measurements of the opening for the rear door on the Victrola XVIII are 18" wide and 11 ⅝" high. Unfortunately, the rear door on the Victrola XVIII is unique to this machine only. It has the same trim on it that the rest of the cabinet has,trim that that on no other Victrola has. Unfortunately, I am going to need a door off of a Victrola XVIII that is already junked. I can however use the needle holder off of a Victrola XVII, as it is the same as a XVIII. Thanks all.
