Mike; You will probably find the horn grille that you're looking for. After you've seen many Credenzas, you will notice that, in the earlier ones, there are three vertical bars in the lower part of the horn grille. The later ones, such as the 8-30X that I have, will have the center vertical bar omitted. No big deal; just interesting.
And, so far as the grille cloth goes, look in on http://www.grillecloth.com. You will find a generic pattern that's as close as you could come to the original stuff. The dealer is John Okolowicz, and he's a great guy to deal with. Tons of luck with the Credenza. You're gonna love it, once you have it up and going. > [Original Message] > From: mark french <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Date: 2/9/2010 4:25:02 AM > Subject: [Phono-L] WTD: Grille for 4-door Credenza > > > 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. > > Mark French > My Victrolas: > VV-210 > 10-50 > Credenza > VV-XVII > > > _______________________________________________ > Phono-L mailing list > http://phono-l.oldcrank.org _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
