[Phono-L] Shipping a Victrola IV question
I am having someone ship me a Victrola IV. I've never had one to know what's being asked. The seller has removed the tonearm at my suggestion and packed it separately. He's now asked whether he should remove the tonearm bracket. I told him not to bother but he's at work for the rest of the night so I have time before he gets back to packing to ask this. I don't think it really matters if it's left on but if for some reason it does is there something else that this bracket is attached to that if he unscrews those 4 screws we have now detached something else on the inside we need to worry about? As a side note the other phono he's sending me is a Rex Talking Machine. I've finally located another machine by a vertical record producer! Can't wait to get it. Thanks, Glenn ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org

Glenn, the bracket screws into four holes on the back of the horn flange (inside the cabinet). The horn flange is atached to the cabinet with another separate bolt, so if he removes the bracket, no problem putting it back.

Thanks for the quick response John. For what it's worth this is quite a late serial number, 581xxx. It's beat up with no reproducer but couldn't pass up the $5 price tag.
