Re: Question on Victrola Motor
Thanks, rizbone. The bezel (escutcheon) for the original handle is missing, so I'll need to buy that as well. The handle on mine has been adapted with 2 coupling nuts changing from unknown male thread to female 5/16-18 thread.

Re: Question on Victrola Motor
I posted this on the TMF three years ago and hoped it would get pinned someplace where it can be readily referenced. At any rate, here is a guide to identifying all Victor motors:

Thanks John! I've been surfing through posts and found it about 2 minutes ago. That is fabulous!

Re: Question on Victrola Motor
Well, this is interesting...
I have a very original, unmolested L-door Victrola XVI from 1909, with female-threaded crank, press-in escutcheon, and reduction winding gear. All hardware is gold-plated.
Was Victor trying to use-up older motors in the enclosed-horn models ?
