Threaded screw down ring and back plate for Victrola Orthophonic. The pot metal swelled so much on mine it no longer will holds the rubber neck insert.

I miss playing the 8-35X.

Kurt -

I believe Ron Sitko has reproduction back-plates for the Orthos.

He also has threaded spanner-rings and the front casting as well, but he hast told me that Victor used four different thread-pitches for the spanner-ring & case, so if you were buying just a ring for an old case, there's a chance the threads might not agree.
