The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Greetings, all. I’m new to this forum so if I’m posting in the wrong section I deeply apologize.

My name is Joe and I’m the proud owner of a Victor Talking Machine VV-IVA from 1918 that is for sale. My phonograph is in need of repair before I sell. Does anyone here know of any phonograph repair centers, dealers or resources in southeastern Pennsylvania?

Any advice you can spare I’d greatly appreciate as I’m not very knowledgeable on this subject and want to educate myself before I fix and sell this beautiful artifact.

Thank you all!

Joe

The little Victrola IV sold in huge numbers which translates into modest prices for todays Victrola buyers. I think the last one I sold at a show went for $150 and that was after I cleaned the cabinet, rebuilt the Exhibition reproducer, applied new turntable felt, provided two packages of new needles, and a dozen records. You might post a photo of your machine for any potential buyers or to get more help with your project Victrola.
