Victor VV-2-55 - replacement Handle ?

[De Soto Frank]

I picked-up a nice 2-55 at Wayne.

Un-cracked Ortho sound-box, good sound, decent original leatherette.

Unfortunately, the handle has broken where the leather loops wrap around the "D-rings" attached to the machine.

Does anyone know of a source for replacement handles, or a way to repair the original ?

It appears the original loops are inserted into the handle body, then secured with a doubled-ended hollow-rivet ?



Thanks !

I second that suggestion. I've bought several of the handles that attach with a strap and buckle. They are appropriate since that style has been used as a replacement for nearly as long as the originals. They are also stronger than the original. You can only get them in natural tan leather but they can be dyed.

Thank you !


Looks like they'll have something I can use !
