George Vollema is still reachable through victr...@triton.net, Robert. You may not even have to remove the back to unplug the motor. It’s been a while. I don’t remember for sure. This list and maybe some of the folks on the various Face Book pages are still your best resource 8-)
I like that popsicle stick idea. I may try it on my Credenza motor.

I'll check with George right now if I can find his current contact info. 😊 Is there anything more to accessing the motor than simply removing the back, unpugging the first AC junction, removing the platter, unscrewing the plinth/base board screws and lifting the thing straight up out of the cabinet? Are there any resources regarding this operation online that I could peruse?

There are no circuit components other than switches. Have you checked with George Vollema for the tone arm bracket? I understand that Wyatt Marcus is doing really good Orth reproducer rebuilds.

I need a whole new tonearm mounting bracket assembly for a Victor VE8-12X that I just got. This one is totally and utterly wrecked. Anyone know who's selling repros? Ron Sitko? JAS? Anyone have current contact info for a dealer who would have some? Also, has anyone rebuilt one of these electric platter motors? This one works great, but it has a really loud mechanical 60Hz hum. I want to replace any components in the circuit that I can, and also do a full cleaning and lube job, but I would really like to know what I'm getting into first. And lastly, anyone have Walt's current info in case I want to have him rebuild this reproducer? Thanks a million! Robert
