Hi All
  A friend of mine came to me with what he said was a Victor V that he bought at a garage sale for $400. It was actually a Victor III with a Victor V plate on the front, and a replaced motorboard and what looks like it may be a Victrola 50 motor. Thankfully there was no need to drill another crankhole. The case is nice. The back bracket is nice. The elbow had a large hole drilled in it and it has been badly patched with solder.
  I have located someone who will trade me a Vic III plaque for the Vic V plaque. I have potentially located a motorboard. Now I need the motor and turntable. Can anyone please help me with this? My friend who got it is a so-called antiques dealer who thinks he knows phonos, and he always buys them and shows them to me afterwards, and he gets taken a lot. Then he offers me the phono for his price plus a small profit. I would really like to have a VIc III, so I am hoping someone can help!
  Thanks for any assistance.
  John Robles
