I am finishing up the servicing of a VV-IV 1916 now. Just have to adjust the brake a bit and it's done. These are good machines to learn on.

@@Rockisland1903 What rubber feet go better with/are correct for this machine, 5/8 or 3/4? Need to order from Walt.

Being the smallest machine it uses the smallest rubber feet. 5/8, but I do like to sometimes use the larger 3/4 because it gives whatever you set the machine on some more protection.. 3/4 would be for the larger 6, 8, and 9 Victrolas.

@@johnmarshall9945 this is from a while back, I’m glad the information was useful. I have worked on a lot of of these little Victrola 4’s over the years. They were a very popular machine for Victor for a long time.

Pool table felt is perfect wool blend for the Victor record players

@@johnmarshall9945 I buy felt in all different colors from the craft store people in 12“ x 12“ squares. These are big enough to do Any turntable. I glued them on and then trim them after. Not sure where to get pool table filter around here although it is probably the same thing and I would end up having to cut it into 12” x 12” squares anyway.

@@johnmarshall9945 turns out the jungle website has lots of pool table felt in various colors. You have to buy a whole roll of it and that gets kind of expensive for the little bit that I use. I found the stuff the crafters use to be the same weight as what Victor was using 100 years ago. Or at least it seems to match, the old ones that I take off. I will keep it in mind however if I need felt for a larger project like lining the drawers in my Gerstner wooden tool, chests, and hobby boxes.

By the serial number on the metal tag mounted on the side of the case. It will look something like VV-IV 123456 You can look it up online or send it to me and I can decode it.
