I know this has been a subject on the list in the past, but I could not find
it. So I am asking again if anyone knows a reliable shipper that will
transport victrola's. I currently have a need to transport one from southern
Oregon or Sacramento California to the Denver area?I would
Some years ago I used Freighters and Craters to have some upright
phonographs shipped from Ohio to Texas, etc. I believe they are a national
chain.

Hello Everyone,
Last night, Nick an I won an interesting phonograph at a local junk auction.
Someone has spray painted the entire cabinet gold...inside and out! The double
spring motor looks to be from a Victor III, the turntable and the upper works
appear to be from a Victor III and it came
From what I can see the parts are from a later Victor III. The cabinet looks
old and original, but not to a Victor III. Did you take off the turn table to
see if there were multiple holes in the motor board? If so, that would mean a
swapped motor. If not, the cabinet can be new old stock that
I think it's a Vic iii with replaced columns or maybe an hmv cabinet. It has
the right Vic iii design except for the columns.

Hi Harvey,
Thanks for your insight! Nick is trying to get the turntable off as we speak to
check for those extra holes. It is rusted on tight and it has been a long day
today so we may wait til the weekend to actually get it off. He says he can see
under the turntable and that there do not
Hello Again,
Nick and I also won 54 early 7 inch Berliner, Victor, Zonophone, and Improved
etched records at the auction. We know that some of these can be valuable and
know a little about them but would love an expert opinion on the collection.
Most of the records are Berliner Gramophone
I am so glad to hear you suggest that! I have been thinking that the columns
are replaced as well! I have never seen an HMV cabinet so I cannot compare the
two.
Thanks!
Melissa

Regarding the turntable liberation, I've found that the product PB Blaster
works much more effectively than Liquid Wrench or WD40. Any will stain the
felt but might be cleaned with a solvent afterward.
A soak over night can work wonders, and then the turntable should be leveraged
upward by
I second PB Blaster enthusiastically. It helps with this greatly. Just
beware the scent (which the manufacturers themselves warn you about, ha

Once you manage to get it off, you should wire brush the spindle and polish it
if you have the equipment. The turntable hole can be cleaned with sandpaper
rolled around a dowel, pencil, bolt or any long round object that will fit in
there - a drill bit with sandpaper wrapped around it works

Squirt a bit of penetrating oil (PB blaster comes to mind) on that center
shaft. Tomorrow, have one of you lift up on the turntable while another
hits the center shaft with a mallet. The turntable should pop off.
