The machine looks older and more primitive than it actually is. Jerry

The one on ebay has the wrong traveling arm.

Wow great pickup.

I agree. The unit on Ebay was a Standard AA but it appears to have a Standard X2 tonearm. (note the stamp near cradle).. If the lenghts the same I guess no big deal but the Ebay unit looks like it could be a little too long once the reproducer is straightened out properly. According to Baumbach reference book, the Columbia AU had 4 relief holes in the traveling arm which I thought was the same as the Standard AA. My Standard AA has 5 relief hole in the traveling arm, in fact it appears to be the exact same arm as the one I have on a Standard X. They are both a C/H over 12 inches long.. so this traveling arm on the Ebay unit was meant to accecpt a larger horn I would presume.
