WANTED: Keenophone Tone Arm / Back tube

Post by ticticdok »

I'm in the process of trying to restore my Keenophone but needing the tone arm and back tube for this machine. It is a model #25. This isn't my machine, but what I need is just like this set up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks... John

Finding an original not attached to a machine is probably a needle in a haystack search... However, the tonearm looks similar to a Columbia tonearm and the tube can probably be made, if an original can't be found... Since I have not actually seen this model in person, bear in mind that these are only observations from viewing the picture.

That appears to be a Columbia arm- a Keenophone should look like this picture - but (If I recall) some stores took the cabinets and re-fitted them to sell them.
