Hello folks. New guy here. Was just wondering if anyone knows of a source where I can get a back flange for a Victor No.2 sound box. I've looked everywhere with little luck. I've rebuilt plenty Exhibition sound boxes, seems like everything needed for those is everywhere. I've found diaphragm gaskets, but no back flanges. Thanks.

I would generally say Ron Sitko, whose contact info is in the Links section of the board. However, Ron shuts down from Thanksgiving through New Year's. If you can wait a few weeks, he's your best bet.

Also, FYI, this should be a "Wanted" post in Yankee Trader. Please post your parts request there, following the rules shown at the top of that board.

Thanks folks. I should've known to check phonographs.org. Now I have another dilemma. I found another No.2 laying around. I'm bored so I thought I would rebuild it. I got to looking at it and found out that both of the back flange screws are missing. You know, those tiny little screws that hold the flange from falling out. Can I find them anywhere, or would I be better off just finding some parts reproducers to work off of? Thanks a million. The resources on here seem fantastic. All of the knowledge of dedicated collectors who've been doing this for years. It's great.
