Anyone know what type of gaskets are needed to rebuild a Victor Number 4
reproducer? They appear to be somthing kind of flat like a Number 2, but larger
around. Does anyone sell these gaskets?
Thanks
Dan

I had dealings with both of those men when I was a beginner, back in the
early 1970's, and I was not happy with either transaction. One of them sold me
an NOS Edisonic reproducer for $125.00, which was about a week's pay, back
then.
When I received the reproducer, I anxiously unpacked it, (the box was nice),
put on one of my favorite disks, (a no-no), and watched the grooves turn
gray, as the reproducer screeched and squawked across the record. After the
damage was done, I looked at the needle more closely. The stylus was mounted
at a
crooked angle in the needle bar, an obvious defect an expert would have
seen instantly.
I am beginning to think I've dealt with every person of dubious integrity in
the hobby.
