Regreased Springs for VV-330 - 4 Spring Motor

Post by CDBPDX »

Found out some interesting things about the Victrola 4 spring motor - the 1 and 2 spring motors have the 'keeper' screw for the spring shaft in the frame of the motor, this 4 spring has 2 'keeper' screws, one for each spring barrel in the winding gears. Also, a 2 spring barrel usually has the bottom spring wound clockwise and the top spring counter clockwise. The 4 spring motor has 1 sping barrel that way, the other is wound opposite that, with the bottom spring counterclockwise and the top wound clockwise. Good thing I took pictures!

Now it runs smooth as silk, no more 'chunking'. Watch on Yoube:
