The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hey folks -

I need a Victor Exhibition needle bar or even two if possible. One can be junk since I just need the foot that attaches to the mica and another complete. I also need a square ended barrel key like the ones Singer sewing machines (and some phonographs) used. I haven't come across one in brass yet, but I've just started looking and it seems many were made that way. The end would be about ⅛ inch.

Please let me know what you have via PM.

Thanks!

Sean

EDIT - I found a junk needle bar in my parts bin, I still could use a good, complete one though.

Sean,
Is the key for your flat top Pooley? A friend (Charles McCarn) has one with that type of key, if you need a pic.

It is. I know what the key looks like, actually, so I don't really need a photo, but thanks for the offer!

Sean

Pianos & pump organs used those square ended keys as well Sean. I can look and see if I have one if you want.

Hi Earl -

I would greatly appreciate that!

Sean
