Hello, all, and thanks for all of the helpful responses to my original post 
on this subject.  As I said in the original post, I am restoring a Victrola 
XII and am in need of some parts.  Since then I have found the door but I am 
still looking for the other parts (and I have more specific information 
about them, to follow).  Here's the new list:

crank
crank hole escutcheon
door knobs
feet
keyhole escutcheon
key
needle cup
motor board screws (four corner screws)

All of this stuff is gold-plated (except for the feet, of course).  I'm 
pretty sure that everything on the list --including the feet -- could also 
come off a tabletop XI, except for the crank, which has the same threading 
but is at least 3" shorter for the XII.  Also, the corner screws for the 
motor board are the type that turn by hand and do not take a screwdriver.  
The keyhole escutcheon is flat; the holes on the crank hole escutcheon are a 
hair longer than an inch apart.  The door knobs are the type that screw into 
the door and don't go all the way through.  The key is not the standard gold 
Victor "V" key, but the gold-plated "old style" Victor key, the kind with 
the wreath on top.

I will not be going to Union this year (have to go to a wedding, instead), 
but if any of you will be there, I'd appreciate it if you would keep an eye 
out for any of these parts on my behalf.  And, as always, please feel free 
to write me directly at [email protected].

Thanks again!
