Need brass needle box for Victor

Hello,

I was given a Victor Victrola XX-XVI ... 1909

I just got the motor working (cleaned, oiled, repacked the springs and replaced the winding pin that was broken) ... starting on the reproducer.

I noticed it is missing a few parts ....

The first item is a brass (gold) needle box.

I am guessing they are all the same size (learning on the fly)?

Please let me know if you have a spare you are willing to sell and the cost.

Thanks so much ... Mike

Nice! My L-door XXVI is one of my favorite machines. If you don't find an original gold needle cup, The Phonograph Shop sells a very nice replica: https://thephonographshop.com/products/ ... s=e&_v=1.0

Awesome!

I didn't see that on their site .. good option if I can't find one.

I was going to order the parts to rebuild the reproducer from them today.

Thanks!

UNBELIEVABLE !!!!!!!!!!!!

So, I pulled out the bottom drawer and way in the back was a small container.

In the container was some old steel needles ... some bamboo needles ... and the needle box !!!!!!!!

Well that is one less thing on the list.
