Awesome job!! Thanks for not parting it out and getting the ol' Humpty Dumpty playing again.
Where did you have the nickel plating done. The parts look great.

Thanks to all for the compliments. Ken, I have a plater in Miami that I like to use. It was nice when I worked in Miami but now that I am retired the 75 trip that I made for 15 years seems so far away. Since I had these parts and some other non-phono items to plate I figured it was worth the trip. I have used a really good plater in Nashville, however. They can found at nashvilleplatingservice.com They are a full service plater and offer a distressed nickel that is right for certain applications. The little shop I use is old school, no internet, no shipping service, just locals only. As for distressed, this guy only makes it shiny

Great job. It looks terrific! If you look carefully you can almost see the little Vic III smiling. Jerry Blais
