Found: Induction Disc Motor for Victor Credenza for a client. The one that is there is missing it's magnets and speed control. If anyone has one they are willing to part with, please let me know. Thanks

Are all induction disc motors basically the same? I have an early 1930s Electrola spare licking around.

Not sure. I have not had any of the later machines. Anyone out there have any idea?

There are some differences. The Credenza motor was mounted with rigid steel stand-off posts. The RE-45 used thick rubber mounts.
The motors used before mid-1927 differed from the labor motors, in that they were fused and were fitted with the typical Victrola speed indicator.
Is machine in question a Credenza an 8-30? Serial number would help. I probably have the motor that you need if I could but lay my hands on it!

Is is an earlier credenza, not the 8-30. Sorry, I do not have the serial number handy. It has the non-supported tone arm and the brass reproducer, if that will help you date it. This takes the standard gold-tone victrola speed control.Thanks for your help.
