Victor castings

Excellent. Sounds very good to me. My vote would be for the record lift pad as the one I have has never fitted properly and is too tight a fit where it joins to the turntable and also sometimes scrapes on the turntable when lifting. I would of thought this would have been a common issue with those recastings as I doubt that the dimensions of auto changers would differ that significantly!

My lift pad casting needed a couple hours of finishing work by an experienced machinist before it functioned properly in my machine! The magazine base needed work too, and I suspect it still isn't holding the loaded records at the exact proper angle. When playing 12-inch records the rejected record hits the awaiting records a bit as it drops down the chute.

My recast handle has arrived and I am stunned at just how good it is. There really is attention to detail with every detail of the original reproduced perfectly. I would recommend these new castings to anybody, they fit perfectly and look just like the original. I got two - one for my 9-55 and the other for the 10-50 I hope to aquire someday
