I’m not sure who is reproducing them, but another of our members (VictrolaGuy - Walt) is offering a pair of new reproduction knobs as eBay Item #110355336467. So you may wish to contact him for any knobs that you might be missing.

While I have not purchased anything from him, in my experience, he’s been very friendly and courteous, and he writes some of the best eBay descriptions that I have seen.

the tonearm and reproducer on your IV are incorrect, they're not victor parts but appear to be from a silvertone machine. that will definitely affect the value. and I'm not sure I follow... if you're trying to sell this machine, there's a section on this forum called yankee trader where it would be better to post your message. and you say "my" model, but so far as the price, you "think it's around $400"? either way, that price is about twice what a person could typically find such a machine for (and I mean a complete one with the correct parts). you can also check completed auctions on ebay and some dealers online.

Thanks for the help! Apologies for the misplaced post

I realize the posts here are all years old but I still enjoyed seeing the lowly VV-IV receiving attention and praise.
I consider myself a collector but of very VERY limited funds. That means my one and only machine is a really nice VV-VI built in 1923. Since I can't collect machines for budgetary reasons I decided years ago to collect early Victor records instead. I did spend what I considered to be big bucks ($15 to $40) buying a really clean example of each of the pre-dog Victors as well as Berliner and Zon-o-Phone records.
What I enjoy most are the one-sided "Straight Line Victors" made from 1905 to 1908. I just turned 48 today but despite my "youth" I REALLY like listening to the century old records because they are truly a living pieces of history ...and cost VERY little to acquire.
Long live the unloved Victrola!
