The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Due to a death in the family, I have acquired a Vic V (serial #30628) that is in very good condition. The felt on the turntable need to be replaced do to a rip. The only thing missing is the horn. I am only going to have it sitting around so I am not worried about buying an original. Is there a place that carries replacement horns and felt?
Thanks for the help,
Kmac

Personally I'd probably keep that felt on there "as is" even if it's ripped up a bit. It's hard to determine without pictures but you may well reduce the value of your machine by changing the felt.

Regarding horns, depends on what you want. Brass Bell, Black Petaled, Wood or generic would all be correct possibilities that would look good.

Hi Kmac.
I'll second Valecnik's comment. As far as finding horns go, the dealers that spring to my mind are George Vollema:

and Dwayne Wyatt:

Even if they don't have what you're looking for, they can probably steer you in the right direction. The V is a nice machine that can really perform well with acoustic records. Enjoy!
