Hi there. This is my first post to this site. I have recently acquired
what I believe to be a His Master's Voice Junior Monarch II gramophone
style phonograph (a real English Victor, not a crap-o-phone). The rear
tone-arm bracket requires a "slip-in" style horn elbow, which I do not
have. The rear bracket is identical to the one pictured here:

I have a horn (probably not original) with a "bayonet" style attachment
for a standard Victor elbow. What I need is the proper slip-in elbow
(and then I'll need to see about getting the correct horn). The opening
in the tone arm/bracket for the horn elbow is about 1 3/4 inches. I've
been told that the horn elbow from a Victor II would be the correct
size, but I don't know this for sure.
Does anyone know where I could purchase such a thing? Any advice would
be appreciated.
Many thanks.
