Looking for an orthophonic reproducer for a Victrola VV4-7. A reproduction part is preferred, as they are less expensive.

With the exception of the portable 2-35 model, all Orthophonic Victrolas used the same style sound box or reproducer. So the same Orthophonic reproducer that fits a Credenza or Consolette, etc., will fit a 4-7. From what I read, the early model 4-7 had nickel plated hardware, and the later models used bronze colored hardware, so you might want to specify what color your Victrola's plating is, or post an image of the tonearm, if you want it to match the original.

Great information! Thank you very much.
You mentioned tonearms that were nickel-plated (earlier units) and bronze-colored (later units). Mine was produced later, but did they have any models where the tonearm is black (see photo)?

Your tonearm is bronze colored.

Here's an example of the bronze colored Orthophonic sound box: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/ ... 1929556809

More like black to my eyes, but that's the style that came with my VV-4-40, which also has a bronze tonearm.
