WANTED: Wanted Electric Pick-up Head for Victor RE

Post by flashpanblue »

Hello,
I am restoring a 1929 Majestic Radio/Phonograph. The pick-up coil in the head is too damaged to repair. I would like to find a working replacement, either an original Majestic or perhaps one from a Victor RE that I think should fit. Any help would be appreciated!
thanks
Pete

I know that I have knee or two Majestic pickups. Finding them will be the problem. I will be home on Tuesday and Wednesday and will check then.

I have looked. I know that I have one or two, but cannot locate them at the moment. Next week when I come back home I will have a couple of the boys in and clear out that storage room. Now, please don't use a Victor unit. The Victor head will not fit the Majestic arm. If you are looking for a replacement something like a Pacent Phonovocx or a Bosch Re-Creator will fit better.

Hello Uncle Vanya
I did not but the Victor head. I really need a Majestic head and will wait for you to find the ones you have.
thanks
Pete

There's a Majestic head and tone arm that came up on eBay a couple days ago. http://m.ebay.com/itm/early-Majestic-ph ... nav=SEARCH
