Victor "slip in" horn elbow

[oliver]

Hi Everyone,

I could use some help identifying this slip in horn elbow. It was purchased on eBay a while back as a Victor II horn elbow. It turned out it's not for a Victor II.
Diameters are right about 2" for the larger opening and 1 5/16" for the smaller opening. Additionally, it looks like there was a hole up on top that was filled in (first image).

I would suspect Victor 0, Victor I (?) but I'm not very familiar with these 2 models.

I appreciate the help. Thanks a lot.

Vic O elbows are painted black and are 1-1/16" diameter at the small end.

There's actually at least two different Victor O elbows (maybe three?) and one version is nickel plated and they are different. I've always advised those trying to complete a Victor O project that there is an order of acquisition. If you have a Victor O project with a back bracket, get the elbow that fits the back bracket and then get the horn that fits the elbow.

I checked my Victor II that has the later slide in elbow and the horn opening end is 2&⅜" which is the same size to accept the typical Victor horn such as a Victor #19 Flower horn. The portion that slides into the elbow is 1&⅜". I assume this is the elbow you need. Correct?

I wonder if the elbow you purchased on Ebay is actually for a big case Victor I. I bet there is a Forum member with such a machine. Any chance of measurement?

Just so our language is the same... "slip in" and "slide in" are the same thing and "clip in" is the earlier style using a clip and screw to secure the elbow. Correct?

Thanks, Jerry Blais

Hi Jerry, Thank you for checking. You are correct, 1&⅜ is the measurement needed on the bracket side. I also agree on the language.

I recently saw repro slide in elbows for the III and up on eBay, but not for the II.
