I get a little lost in all of the E-mails and do miss some of them in terms of replying with a "thanks". So here is my "blanket one for the recent past". *smile* Moving on: I obtained a Victor 12 which in the book, Looking For The Dog, it explains the 12 was made in 1909 and was a blend of the Victor VI & the Victor VV-XVI at the time. I bought it for the parts, in the event I ran across a Vic VI cabinet etc. I noticed the "crank" on the Victor 12 is a "male" type and it has been my experience the ones from the Victor VI & VV-Xvi I have are "female". The LFTD book doesn't address this question, so I am floating this out to phono-list land. thanks in advance later Bob _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
