Tone Arm Screw Needed

Style VV-IX
Screw went missing during the move. Can anyone help? Thanks for taking a look.

Yes, we can help but we need your real name and the serial number of your VV-IX. This model went through many revisions.

Hi Mark,

I have two #'s- one wirrten on the machine and one written in the receipt.

Thanks for your help!

Jo,

That is a nice document to have, oftentimes these are lost and it is relatively unusual to see them, thanks for posting it.
By the way, SF and DF refer to single face and double face records. RS is Red Seal and I believe PL refers to Purple label, these were the various classes of Victor records.

The ID tag is best to determine the series of your machine. You posted about an VV-IX but the tag is for an VV-XVI, which do you have? The gold taper tube in your first posting may indicate you are asking about an XVI.

Jo,

I checked the parts listing for the Type D XVI with the serial number on the tag in your photo. There is no listing for a separate screw, just for the assembled support. The screw listed is for the pivot pin at the top, not at the base. Unfortunately I do not have a Type D XVI in the collection to check. I did look at some XIV and XVIII’s and none have the hole circled in your picture, the casting is uninterrupted. Maybe someone here can check their machine. Is this a two piece support casting?
