Does anyone have this back bracket they can sell?
It appears to be a Columbia product, but the reproducer
is Talk-o-phone. If you have one or know the whereabouts,
please let me know.

Thanks, Harry

The picture shown is a complete, original Talk-O-Phone rear mount bracket. The reproducer looks like a Columbia. I think this was one of the reasons why Columbia sued Talk-O-Phone for patent infringements.

The reproducer is probably also Talk-o-phone. It is a bit different (Thicker) that the Columbia
analyzing reproducer. There are no springs to control tension to the needle bar. Thx for your
input.

The reproducer is the correct Talk-O-Phone reproducer for this arm assembly. At a glance, it looks like a Columbia Analyzing reproducer. It has similarities, but totally different.
