Russie beat me to it but I'll post mine as well. It may help with the length measurement. It may be hard to see but the sound box says "Modernola" on the face. Jerry B.

Re: Need pictures of modernola reproducer & tonearm.
The tone arm used in the Modernola was a fairly common universal type tone arm. They were sold by the manufacturer to lots of phonograph companys' that assembled their machines from bought in parts. Numerous "off-brand" machines used this practice.
Here is an advertisement from the early 1920's showing a tone arm just like the one used in the Modernola (these unique phonographs were made from 1919 to 1921, a very short-lived production).
There is an e-bay listing of a tone arm that looks like what you need, nickel plating, but no reproducer. You may want to check it out.

Thank you! There is a modernola near me, and it actually has the correct tonarm, just the wrong reproducer.phonolamplighter wrote:The tone arm used in the Modernola was a fairly common universal type tone arm.

I have been posting a lot of "identify this phonograph" because I'm desperately looking for a project now that I have sold the phonographs I had.
Thanks
