I've always believed the back bracket needed for a MS is the same as a M, III, or IV. Does your cabinet have two sets of mounting holes for the back bracket. I think one set of holes were used when a Concert sound box was used and the other for an Exhibition. That would chance the height of the tone arm and reproducer in relation to the turntable. I am not familiar with Rigid arm Victors and I'm assuming yours is not a Rigid arm machine.

Your right, there are two sets of holes. I thought someone may have tried to use a different bracket. Thats good to know. I will take a bracket off a lll and try it again. Thanks so much Jerry I appreciate you sharing your knowledge .

If you can't find an original, Ron Sitko sells a good reproduction. Jerry
