Hi John, I also have a Victrola model VV-XX, SN 107314 from about 1912-13. It also works fine. I have a few hundred old 78 records to play on it. I also lucked out, and bought out the boxes of 78 needles from a record store when I was in my 20s, 4 boxes of 500 needles each, so I have plenty, so I can change the needle every 20 plays or so to save my records.My mother and I used to go to the Salvation Army when I was a young kid, and buy old 78 records. The 10 inch were 10 cents each, and the 12" were 15 cents. Over the years we bought several hundred in many different genres. This is what my Victrola looks like. (Exact same model, same condition, but this is not my machine)
