2024年11月10日 · That machine is worth saving in my opinion. It is an early VV-VI, and dates from December 1911 to December 1912, and the serial number places it at the earlier part of the manufacturing run. The 10 inch turntable was replaced by a …

2014年6月25日 · One of the machines I bought was a VV VI from 1916. This machine has not been touched. I see no signs of any tampering, such as missing bearings and buggered up screw heads. But lots of dried out old grease, which brings me to my question. The motor has two barrels, one for each main spring, with a single arbor that runs through both of them.

2019年8月13日 · Nice to see so many great photos. I have an early VV VI and it had an old Victor brake I had never seen before. Thursday I will be getting another VI but a later one from 1917 and it is so different. I will have to repair the brake pad in motor and put on proper sound box but it looks okay and I am trading an old little tube radio for it.

These cabinets, as was the case for all VV-IV and VV-VI models, were made by outside suppliers; assembly of the mechanical components was completed at the Victor plant in Camden, NJ. "I thought every Victrola model cabinet was produced in-house. OrthoFan

2015年3月19日 · I just picked up a 1916 VV-VI tabletop Victrola with serial number 258209F. It came without a record platter. I tried using a spare typical Victrola platter with a ⅜" diameter spindle hole but it doesn't fit past the tip of the spindle. It appears the thicker part of the motor spindle is slightly thicker than normal.

2018年5月7日 · If you want a tabletop with a lid get a Victor Victrola VV-VIII or Victor Victrola VV-IX. I think they are less headaches in the end. I think Columbia had some nice looking machines, but when you get into pot metal issues and a fiber gear in the motor, these can be a headache.

2012年8月14日 · Re: Victrola VV-VI suggestions Post by Jerry B. » Mon Mar 09, 2020 4:24 pm If you are reluctant to dig into the motor but are able to remove the spring barrels, I would do so and send the barrels to Ron Sitko for service/repair.

2025年1月23日 · It's sometimes confusing for a new-bee, since Victor sold two different models containing the "VI" model number, but they were entirely different. So true! That's why I avoid using the expression "Vic" when describing a machine even …
