Hi All I was gonna write this note to Tim Fabrizio, but I thought I would seek a wider audience for these plaudits! I ordered a Victor exact repro elbow from him for my Vic IV. Having only seen the two crappy aluminum repros over the last few decades, I was intrigued,l though still a bit doubtful. I doubt no more. I received the elbow today, and if I didn't know it was a repro I would not have guessed. It is nickel plated brass, and is exactly like the original. No thick clunky metal elbow here. My aluminum elbow was somewhat better than the old aluminum castings, but still when I put it on the horn, and put the horn on the machine, the horn wobbled and when I would try to turn it in the casting, the elbow would fall out. I put the horn into the new elbow, wow, a tight fit!!! I put the elbow into the casting and secured it, and I was able to move the horn back and forth almost effortlessly! I wholeheartedly recommend this elbow, which at the bargain price of $75 will do a wonderful job til you find an original, if that is still your desire after seeing this one! I will post pics soon. Thanks Tim!! John Robles
