WANTED: Tone arm for Brunswick Panatrope portable

Post by VanEpsFan1914 »

Just what the title says, I have a 1920s Brunswick Panatrope portable with a gold tone arm missing its u-joint where it swivels at. On a Victrola it'd be a gooseneck but this crazy thing I'm not sure what to call it. I have a reproducer (sort of) but the back is cracking due to intergranular degeneration.

Any ideas? Parts? Junk pile specials?

I'm afraid this might or might not work. The base on mine is gold-plated and the ad makes no mention whether it came from a portable or a full-sized machine. Any of y'all think it'd do the business?

I'm not aware of any full size machine that used that arm or reproducer. That style of reproducer I have only seen used on portables.
