The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I am looking for the two needle cups without lids for a vv-v111 Please let me know if you have any to sell. Also 4 screws for the top hinge. Thanks

Victor didn't use metal needle cup inserts for the new needles...the only cup was the waste cup with the lid.

I thought the same thing. But look at the one here.

My guess is someone popped a couple of cups from a Columbia into it (the Columbia's had drilled holes in the motor board, and put the cups into the holes). In all the Victor literature I've seen, I've never seen anything indicating they had additional cups. And considering they never put them into the high end models, why would they put them in a relatively inexpensive model? I'd be willing to bet they are not original to the machine.
