Need some help, please? Which elbow is correct?

Ok, so I have 2 elbows and I'm trying to figure out which one is the correct one for my player. I have an early Vic Model I. I have the correct horn but I have two elbows, which will both work, but I need to know which one is correct for my machine. Or, maybe they both aren't correct?

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in, but I think that the one with pins is the earlier elbow.

Wow, you're lucky to have 2 original elbows. The one with the pins are for an early rear mount Victor E usually a Pre-Dog one. Also, for an early Victor I. If it has on the ID plate V-1 with a 4 digit S/N, the pined elbow will be correct. If your Victor One says Vic I on the ID plate, then the other elbow will be correct. One piece of advice: what elbow you use, keep the other one. They are scarce and tough to find. You'll never know when a machine may come about when you'll need that extra elbow.
