The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I am looking for the entire back bracket and tonearm setup for
a VV 1-90 table top orthophonic phonograph. If anyone has
one they are willing to part with please PM me with a pic and
price they want.
Thanks Gene

The I-90 is a nice machine! Have you tried contacting Ron Sitko? He sells reproduction parts like the one you are seeking. Look in the Links Section for details. He lives in New York.

Thanks edibrunsvic, I did call ron and explained what I needed
and unfortunately he couldnt help me except if i needed the back bracket.
I emailed George Vollema and he said he might be able to put something
together but hes in florida right now, and if was able to put something
together it would be 180.00 to 200.00
I will just keep checking ebay I guess.

I now know that a tonearm and back bracket from a
VV 4-7 or VV 4-40 will work on my VV 1-90. If anyone
on the forum has this setup and would like to sell it
please let me know, it will be appreciated.

Hi Gene:

I sent you a private message about a tonearm with support (in need of TLC) I spotted this morning for sale on eBay. While the tonearm came from a VV-7-10 -- http://www.victor-victrola.com/7-10.htm -- it looks identical to the one installed on my VV-4-40.

Gene, I've asked the same question in this forum some time ago and got a very thorough answer. I was very impressed by the depth of knowledge in this board:

Good luck looking for your parts.

I believe this is one...

That looks right to me. You'll still need to replace the bracket support pin, but that's not a big deal.

Thanks everyone I have found all the parts I needed
