It's a beautiful case and if you have another machine to rob the parts from, it would be a great upgrade...

The only problem I can see in replacing the original parts would be finding a proper motorboard. How common are Walnut motor boards?

Not common, but one could be made easily...

If anyone buys this, I have a Walnut 130 that I will gladly take measurements/pics of to help in restoration. The Walnut veneer is readily available if you were to veneer another motor board and install. I had to replace the veneer on the top of the lid for mine as the veneer was completely gone.

I think someone "improved" that Victrola back in the '40's.Back then they weren't worth anything.Thankfully,it CAN be restored to the way it was originally. :) edisonplayer

Gene, have you contacted the seller just to confirm they don't have the original parts? Just curious...

Fran,

I have not contacted the seller.
Sure would be nice to see this 130 back to original.

Thank you, Gene. It was worth a shot. What a shame.
