[Phono-L] Victor 12 question
phono listers: First I would like to thank all of those on the list who have responded to my various requests for information parts. 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
Re: [Phono-L] Victor 12 question
The XII has a completely different motor from a Victor VI motor of any production period. The XII motor is proprietary to the XII. The XII is a very scarce machine in its own right, much more so than a Vic VI . . . is your example not restorable?

Re: [Phono-L] Victor 12 question
The Victrola XII crank is a female crank. The same motor is totaly differant than a Vic V or VI motor.

Re: [Phono-L] Victor 12 question
John: Yes, it would be restorable as most of the problem is the rear hinge has broke away from the lid. the front lid knobs are missing. I had bought it as I thought the parts were similar to the VI as the book indicated. It is to big for me as I am getting limited in flat space around the house. *grin* later Bob -Original Message- From: phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org [mailto:phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org] On Behalf Of John Maeder Sent: Friday, October 19, 2012 9:12 AM To: Antique Phonograph List Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Victor 12 question The XII has a completely different motor from a Victor VI motor of any production period.

Re: [Phono-L] Victor 12 question
The brake, turntable, speed control dial, crank escutcheon, lid support, and taper tube and support would all be usable on a VI or XVI as the case may be. Not that it's any of my business and it's a free country, but I would discourage stripping it to harvest parts.
