The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Need the back bracket and (2) screws for the tone arm on my Vic 4-3. Thanks

JAS,,,(?) Phonograph has them on EBay - I did mine and posted photos somewhere on here - a perfect repro - no issues. Getting the old one apart was a pot-metal nightmare

JAS EBAY ITEM # 221428942590

Ron Sitko also carries them for about $70 - 518-371-8549. They're excellent.

I just replaced mine and picked it up from Ron Sitko at the Union show for my 8-12.Worked like a charm. Yes, it was a pain to remove the old one, just take your time and protect your sound arm.

Just another note to say the the ones from both JAS and Ron are fantastic. I have bought both and used both without any issues whatsoever. If Ron has the size you need, he is a little cheaper. There is a size that Ron doesn't carry that JAS does, but I cannot remember which machine I had that issue with.
Good Luck!
Matt

Thanks for the info I'll give Ron a call. Cheers \

Both Justin Schaub and Ron Sitko are excellent to deal with.

Thanks again gentlemen - I'll give Ron a call this evening. If I recall he is hard to contact before 7 PM. Believe I read somewhere there are several versions of the back bracket. Cheers

You will need the number of screws that the bracket is fastened with and the distance between the screw holes.
