The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I picked up a 1916 Victrola XVII today and its missing some parts, if you have any or all of these, please PM or reply to this post. Here is what I need:

Horn (with both the metal and wood parts)
Speed control metal plate with thumb screw (gold plated), its the newer style, perhaps one from a 16 might work?
Hood lift (gold plated), one from a 16 might also work
Top hinge
Top lock, one from a 16 might fit
Top lock plate (gold plated) also one from a 16 might work
Top lock fancy escution plate (gold plated)
Serial number plate
Gold plated exhibition reproducer

I have a VV-130 I am going to part out. Any chance any of the parts will interchange?

I sent you a PM, let me know if you got it. Yes, the VV-130 parts would work perfect for this.

Here is my list again:

Horn (with both the metal and wood parts)
Speed control metal plate with thumb screw (gold plated)
Hood lift (6 screw - 4 top, 2 bottom) (gold plated)
Top hinge - 15"
Top lock mechanism with attached plate (gold plated)
Top lock hood plate (gold plated)
Top lock fancy escutcheon plate (gold plated)
Serial number plate (i will take the 130 plate in case I dont find an XVII plate)
Gold plated exhibition reproducer - not rebuilt if possible.

the seller in Long Island partially disassembled this XVII with the intention of restoring it but then lost the parts and ambition for the project.
