I think once you've gotten your 10-50 restored and running properly it'll become your favorite machine for playing your Victor scrolls. Mine's playing right now, and I'm really happy with it.
I hope any issues with replacement parts can be dealt with these days. I don't know if anyone's doing regular re-castings of the pot metal pieces? Anyone know?
thedman, Please feel free to pm me if you have any questions

And I hope we can see a video of it in operation when it is all up and going.

I've got rocks in my head... lol I need another project like I need a hole in the head. It will be a nice challenge though. I've never worked on one.
I still have to find a grill for it and the selector knob is missing. Other than that, it all appears to be there. I just have to tackle the pot metal issues.

Thanks,
Donald

Hey Donald,

Congrats, 10-50s are great. I'm pretty sure I have a grill from a completely trashed one I parted out years ago. It's a nice one, but has no grill cloth. If you're interested, send me a PM.

Congrats again! I also have a grill with cloth and a lot of other cabinet parts; I gave the changer to a member of this board.

Thank you to everybody for the "attaboys" I am looking forward to getting is up and running and will definitely do a video for you. Can't be any worse than a Capehart... Right? lol

Thanks,
Donald
