I just picked up a decent Victrola Credenza 4-door that I've started to fix up,
the one important thing it's missing is the entire horn grille and cloth.
Condition of finish and/or cloth not important, I can refinish it and/or put
new cloth in it. Thanks!
Side notes - this machine has some WEIRD mods. For example, eons ago somebody
tapped into the horn elbow and added an iron pipe T-fitting. (??) But both
ends of it are just open to air, I'll have to remove that and put in a plug,
talk about ruining the bass! And there's a 6-inch hole cut into the lower
section of the horn wood, like a speaker had been mounted there with three
screws, or something. Plus an additional a/c wire was added to the motor
connector socket, but whatever it was hooked to is gone. Anybody have any
ideas of what they were doing, or trying to do, with this thing? I assume at
one time there was a hose connected to that fitting, for what I have NO idea.
The vent hole cover near it is missing, maybe that is where the hose or pipe
exited. Pretty sure I can fix all this stuff fortunately.
