Hello all
I am looking for a Stewart phonograph tonearm and reproducer. A friend gave me a black Stewart phonograph, but even though it fits perfectly, I found that the tonearm and reproducer are incorrect. I have seen parts machines on eBay, but they never seem to have the tonearm. Can anyone help? Pics below of what I have and what it should have.
Thanks
John Robles

I have purchased one from Great Lakes Phonograph (search forum or google) in the past. These are often missing and darned hard to find.
Good Luck!

Thanks I'll try with George. Luckily this was given to me so if I cannot find one, it is not a loss of money for me. Odd that the one with it fits so perfectly!mattrx wrote:I have purchased one from Great Lakes Phonograph (search forum or google) in the past. These are often missing and darned hard to find.

There are at least two different reproducer/horn/tone arm arrangements... small diameter (rare) and large diameter (common). It's hard to tell from the picture but I'm leaning toward small diameter for yours. I don't recall ever having seen a spare one of those, but I've not seen everything.
Below are pics of the small diameter parts from my machine (not for sale).
(the advertisement in your post is the larger diameter one.)

On the small diameter arm, it rotates totally from the backmount. On the larger one, the tonearm swivels back and forth from the backmount, while the reproducer swivels at the end of the tonearm and is able to play lateral or vertical records, with the correct styli...

What is the diameter of the small one? I think mine is the small one. I note that the previous owner made a brass sleeve that he soldered to the arm to make it fit perfectly.Retrograde wrote:There are at least two different reproducer/horn/tone arm arrangements... small diameter (rare) and large diameter (common).

The small diameter is 1 inch, the larger one is 1.25 inches (slight bulge at the horn end).
The larger one is shown below, also notice it has nickle plated ring at the top of the horn, the small one does not. And the horn itself is differently shaped comparing small and large.
