[Phono-L] orthophonic/credenza question info update

Hello Robert, Since their Credenza is up in the 35,000 range it is probably a 4 door model, see the link below which is in the 25,000 range is a four door. Whether or not it would still have the brass reproducer at this point would be strictly conjecture on my part unless someone else has

Thanks so much, Bruce. I wanna say theirs is a 4 door but I'm not certain. I'll ask. I was planning on going with a rebuilt pot metal, regardless of whether Victor had changed over from the brass ones by 34495 or not; I felt certain either one would sound great, and I assumed pot metal

Related to this, does anyone know when the Credenza or 8-30 went to the tone arm support bracket that comes up from behind and has the pivot pin and set screw at the top? I realize that this is the style most often seen, but I'm sure there were some of these made with the type of support

Will do. Maybe others will turn up with the parts as well. I think it's fair to say that most of us who love and use our Credenzas like to have at least one Orthophonic reproducer and one non-repro tone- arm back bracket on hand. Andy On Feb 10, 2007, at 11:00 AM, Robert Wright wrote:

I sure hope so! I should also mention that I absolutely must have a stupendous-sounding reproducer, preferably fully rebuilt (Walt? Those No. 2's and that Exhibition on eBay look amazing!). I need for them to be blown away by the sonic improvement (to make the trouble of replacing what's
