The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Looking to buy a VV 4-20 orthophonic. If it's missing a reproducer or grill cloth that's ok.

Where are you located?
I have one in a clean cabinet that I know is missing the reproducer and I think, the brake mechanism, but I’ll have to look. I don’t recall the condition of the pivot bracket, but I’ll look. Grille cloth is original and good. I’d give it to you if you’d want it. I’m in central Arizona near Sedona.

I'm in Milwaukee, WI
That is a very generous offer! I could check with Uship for a price on shipping. To get a quote from Uship I will need your city and zip code.

Thanks, JohnM

I haven’t had a chance to look at it and take photos, but I’ll try to do that tomorrow (Saturday).

Thanks Again!

Here are some photos. The cabinet door knobs are missing. No reproducer. One of the small springs in the brake is sprung. Weird knob on crank. Pivot bracket is good. I couldn’t open the doors, but the grille cloth is good as I recall.

I posted on uship and waiting for a decent quote. One so far but much higher than the last time I used uship. I will keep you posted and thanks for the pic's.

It will just be sitting here!

Hi John,

Thanks for the generous offer but the few bids that came in were around $550.00. So I am going to pass on this one. Maybe one will show up closer to home.

Thanks, Perry

I understand!
