The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi folks!

I just cleaned up another of my very small hoard, and took her for a spin.

The sound tube has a lot of slop at the elbow joint and is real loose fitting at the the soundbox flange, too. I shimmed it in both places, but I'm not real happy with the sound, so bear with me on this one! I'll be looking for a better one as a replacement...and a couple of ball bearings for the taper arm support. The reproducer has a good gasket and wax, and the flange is new.

Here's a video:

And a couple of pictures:

So far, it sounds good. I looks good, too. Once you rebuild the reproducer, add the ball bearings, and flange, it will sound better. I've always liked the VV VI. They are nice machines.

That's a nice machine looks really nice the vi is nice because it has the double spring motor equipped with such a great machine

Thanks guys, for the comments. I appreciate the feedback, for sure, given that I'm pretty new to the collecting aspect of this hobby.
