Good afternoon all. I need the U-tube for a gold plated Victor tonearm. The arm is from a VTLA, but should be the same as for a rear mount Victor. Here is a photo of the VTLA I need it for. I am also looking for a crank for it, which should be threaded. Thanks!

Are you sure someone hasn't changed something in that motor? Someone may have twisted the old shaft off, and put a pin in what remained. Victor went to a threaded crank with the flat top Pooley cabinets, and your machine is later than that. You should post a picture of the motor that's in it. Those are nice looking machines and there are some variations on the cabinet over the production run. Good luck with it now, Earl.

I found out this morning that it takes a threaded crank. The machine will not be here until tomorrow so I have not seen it physically yet. But for the price I couldn't refuse!
