Hi all,

Does anyone know if the attachment in the photos is original, after market, or home made? It stops the tone arm moving more than 90 degrees. It works since the tone arm has none of the dents that all my other tone arms have! It's held in place by two screws, one of which you can see in the second photo.

Any insights welcome!

Michael

Looks original to me.

Thanks Jerry, do you have this on any of your Victor back brackets? I haven't seen this before, but I'm pretty new and I try not to start swinging tone arms around when I visit other collections

My Victor II doesn't have that, so if this machine is a Victor II, then it might be aftermarket. I cant speak for any other models, though.
