WANTED: Antique Brass Lid Lock for Orthophonic Victrola

Post by Mr Grumpy »

I guess the subject line says it all...

I'm looking for a Victrola lid lock in Antique Brass finish and would prefer one that works.
A matching brass key would be a bonus!

Shipping would be to Ontario Canada.

Thanks,
Vince

I was hoping there would be a multitude? I need one for my 8-7.

Was the 8-7 the only one?

Thanks for changing your avatar .GIF to the more sedate one. I don't have epilepsy but the old avatar nearly gave me a seizure.

I looked up an image of the 8-7. Yes indeed, it has a lid lock. Makes sense on that model. Have you tried a regular Victrola style lock?

A regular one works, but I figured only Orthophonic machines had the antique
brass finish I'm looking for.
