I am looking for a large tone arm for a Columbia BII. It's the arm made right after the Analyzing reproducer type arm. Thanks for checking your parts bin. Jerry Blais

My best guess is there is only one length of this tone arm. Do others have a different opinion? Thanks, Jerry

There are two sizes of this type of tone arm. The smaller one is used on the Columbia BZ, BN, and others. The larger one is for the BII, BY, etc.

We did locate one for the BII and I do have a smaller one in the BN size. Jerry Blais

I wish I could edit the subject line of this thread but the thread is old and that feature falls away with time. Jerry

Jerry is correct. There is only one length for this arm. There are smaller arms, but for the smaller machines. As far as a name for this is, concerned, it is a Columbia BII tone arm.
