12" turntable for VV-XVI with gold rim

Robert561 · by **Robert561** » Wed Mar 19, 2008 2:24 am

Hi members,
I am seeking a replacement turntable for my VV-XVI that has the gold rim. For some reason the one I have is nickel plated instead of gold plated. The tone arm, reproducer are already gold plated. Sometime in its life the machine platter was replaced. The machine is from March 1913 in mahogany. Also need some replacement gold screws for the machine.
Any help will be GREATLY APPRECIATED

Many thanks for any feedback that may come my way!!
Bob

If your machine has a bullet style brake then the turntable rim should be nickel as the gold would wear off. If it is the later on off lever, then yes, it should be gold.

Hi Vic160,
Thank you for the info on the bullet brake vs the On/off type brake. I have the On/Off type, so I do need the gold rim turntable.
I appreciate the feedback!

Hi,

I have a 12" Victrola turntable, and should work on your machine. The turntable will need cleaned up, and does have original orange felt.

I am asking...... $ 20.00 plus $ 6.00 postage for it.
