Hi Mario, The earlier column bases and capitals are made of brass and slightly smaller and the later ones are made of pot metal and are slightly larger. I would assume yours originally came with the black horn since it was early. I would assume original owners were encouraged to upgrade the horns as the newer ones became available as Victor was good in sales and marketing and those who purchased the VI would have been able to afford the upgrades in most cases.

If so it is a screw that is a bit larger than the ones that hold the springs on to the brass ring and it appears to be the same size as the screw on my standard. I would suggest contacting George Vollema at [email protected] Steve From [email protected] Fri Oct 27 13:04:02 2006 From: [email protected] (Mario Frazzetto) Date: Sun Dec 24 13:11:58 2006 Subject: [Phono-L] WANTED: Nirona toy phonograph with Egyptian Hieroglyphics Message-ID: <[email protected]> Hi Folks, I have a friend who is chasing one of these.
