    Good morning. I was hoping someone out there could tell me what part this is. Clearly a Victor. I cannot find any markings on it besides under the Nipper Logo "His Master's Voice". I thought maybe it could be a tonearm but that is just a guess. If anyone knows...then what model this would belong with. It is about 1 foot long by 4 inches at its widest. Thanks in advance!!

    I found a little info...it is a tone arm but mine is missing the needle. I saw one on Worthpoint that was taken off a GE Console. It would be nice to know what Victor this came off of originally or even just the era. I still listen to vinyl...yes I am old...and I might have to design a cool way to display this beautiful arm.

    I do not know if it was used on other units, but here is one showing it in use.
    It uses the same steel needles as older wind-up phonographs. The needle slips into that bottom hole and is held in place with the screw sticking out the front of the pick-up.
