Wanted - Columbia HG recorder

[Kent in KC]

I recently acquired a Home Grand Graphophone and am wondering if there was a recorder specific to this model. My research (Hazelcorn book, internet, etc.) has turned up nothing - not even a picture. Since it has a shaver, I'm assuming it also could have a recorder. Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks

I bought this AG out of a house in 1983, and it came with its Reproducer and Recorder in boxes, marked "HG." (Click the image twice to enlarge.) The Recorder looks like a conventional Graphophone Recorder of the period, so you'd probably be okay with a long-shanked floating Recorder of the same timeframe.

Thanks George - sent you a followup PM.

Thanks - I’ve got two recorders. Unfortunately the one that is slightly larger is missing the mica and cutter. Assume that’s the right one. If not too much trouble could you give me an overall length?

More info from George: the recorder has an overall length of 2 ¼" and has the two "fingers" to catch the lift mechanism on the trunion. If anyone has one like that I'd be interested in buying or trading. Thanks
