The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hello all

I am looking for a winding shaft and gear to replace a broken one on a Victor II humpback phonograph. I also need a pivot spring for the Victor II back bracket. This is the spring that supports the tonearm pivot. Brian Parlier of The phonograph Shop is out of them and does not know if they will be back in stock. I've borrowed his photo to show what I man. Any leads appreciated! See pics for the parts i am seeking.

Thank you

John Robles

John,

Please tell me what the shaft diameter is and what the overall length would be, (if the end weren't broken off). I have 4 or 5 similar shafts, all just a bit different.

Hi

I sent it off today, Dave Dazer said he could make one for me, so I don't have it on hand to give you the measurements. Once he gets it I can get you the measurements, and if you have one that's great. Will spare the work having it made.

Thanks

John
