I was told the slip-in elbow was used on Victor II machines, but I don't know this for sure. I've done some research and my best guess is that I have a His Master's Voice Junior Monarch II, made in England. Not sure of the date.

I do not remember the price overview to be too complete eithr, though the potential is there.

Have a look at http://www.zonophone.netfirms.com (Machines) its in the 1903 group Zonophone Tall Case & Side Start (Larger model France). The case is superb - excluding of course the usual worm holes. on 2 sides it has a very involved marquetry with walnut inlay. Unfortunately the machine is at the moment only case - motor - turntable. The front mount arm is very similar to the MS special arm. Does anyone know the history of Zonophone France, as they seem to have made machines specifically for the french market that were not mainstream Zonophone - though the transfer was? thanks Rob ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2005 16:14:40 EST From: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Phono-L Digest, Vol 2, Issue 219 To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" hi all the smythes are great people to deal with and very honest happy collecting ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Mon, 07 Nov 2005 18:54:27 -0500 From: "Steven Medved" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Phono-L Digest, Vol 2, Issue 219 To: [email protected] Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed The Smiths are one of the few people who make parts of outstanding quality.

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: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6575393292&rd=1&sspag ename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 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. ------------------------------ Message: 7 Date: Tue, 8 Nov 2005 08:44:06 -0700 From: Andrew Baron <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Seeking "Slip-In" Horn Elbow for Victor II To: Antique Phonograph List <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed The horn elbow opening in the top of the rear-mount Victor II back bracket measures 1 1/2", and at this diameter is only about 3/32" deep. Then it steps down in diameter as it goes deeper in. At the top of this receptacle, at the rear, there's a thumb screw and bracket for retaining the flared rim of the horn elbow. This rim (at the bottom edge of the elbow) is about 3/16" thick. Although I don't know where an elbow is available, I hope this will help you in your quest.
