WANTED: Speed Control Needle for Vic XI
Posted: Fri Nov 07, 2014 8:01 am
D'oh! Now I've gone and done it -- lost the pitch control needle for the Victrola XI I've been fixing up to give to my friends' eight-year-old son. He's been fascinated by Victrolas since he first saw mine, taking to their operation like a duck to water -- changing the needle every time, even putting records back in their sleeves after playing them without being reminded. The last time we had a Victrola session, as they were leaving, he actually hugged the XI and said "I've gotta get myself one of these"! So I've rebuilt the motor and soundbox, cleaned up the cabinet, and it's almost ready for him -- he doesn't know about this yet -- except that I can't locate the baggie with the needle (and the little nut and washer). Anybody have a spare? If so please PM me with price.
