The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hello all,
I am trying to fix a VV 2-35 that is missing the tone arm support, is there a good resource to find this part and information?

Thanks,
Niish-

Niish, hi! Check out the "Repairs, Parts, Dealers, Sales & Auctions" section of the "Links" subforum. Very likely someone on that list will have the part you need, or be able to obtain it for you. Best of luck!

Thank You Cody. I guess I gave my noob status away.

No worries, I'm one too! The 2-35 is a great little machine, isn't it? I had one until recently, and it never failed to impress with the big sound that comes out of that little box!

It's so great looking, I just love it.

I have only had parlor models before this one.

Ron Sitko has the tone arm supports/brackets. I bought one from him earlier this year. He will want a measurement between the screw holes to determine which one you need. I found that the pin he sends is a little tall and the lid wouldn't close. I files mine down and polished it and it worked great. He is closed now, but will open back up in January. His contact info is on this site.

Hi Matt,
I contacted George from the links section here and he said he had the part I needed. He mentioned the pin too, I have no idea what that is as I stated in my response to him (still waiting for a reply)--- what is the pin?

Thank You so much for replying,

Niish, Welcome to the board. The pin is the small pointed rod that goes through the top of the tone arm support to hold the tone arm in place. It fits into the small hole/depression and allows the tonearm to swivel in the support. Jan.

Thank You Jan.

Maybe that is all I need. How do I post photos on here? I see the brackets, but no upload function?
