Victrolas own "Soundbox" - original from 1927? Other manufacturers called it "Reproducer".
The "heart" of it all..and very fragile...the sound on a phonograph is as good as your soundbox or reproducer.



Another angle of the soundbox.

Fixed with wire

The only missing piece...I think it has been a pin of some sort going down in order to stabilisize the arm.
The green stuff seems to be some sort of corrugation.I use this temporarerly solution until I can find someone who might repair it.
Also, though this beautiful VV 4-40 works perfectly, it is a good idea to let someone take a look at the spring motors...
maybe put some oil or grease into it....just for precaution.
