Columbia Lion's Head Phonograph Speed Control

Post by Pw2332Co »

I just purchased the Lion's Head model with the phonograph only and it looks like there is a piece missing on the speed control or the adjustor screw was partially brocken off. Does anyone have a picutre on one the can send me?

I have attached the picture of the partial speed control on mine.

Thanks!

Looking at your machine compared to the one I owned, it looks like you are missing the metal ring around the turntable. Your's looks different from mine, where mine just had the lever, no back plate. My machine was a really early phonograph only Lion's head Deluxe.

Would either of you be able to add your machine as a featured phonograph?

I don't see anything appears broken or missing. Looks o.k. to me.

Here is how to add to the Featured Phonograph forum.
