Hi Everyone,

I have a basket case late model Victor II and the governor is missing.

Is the governor specific to the Victor II, or will a governor from an internal horn Victrola fit and do the job?

Thank you and best regards,
Oliver

The gear that drives the governor as well and the spindle worm and the drive gear on the spring barrel are a more coarse pitch than the later, enclosed machines. Some of the early enclosed machines, such as an L-Door XVI have that gearing, but the more common machines did not.
