Very interesting observations! Without saying it in the first post, I remembered that Garrard made the motors for the Columbia horn gramophones, so I basically was curious about possible connections to Columbia, if they existed on this machine.
If the winding handle is wrong for a Columbia, it also means it is wrong for the Garrard motor, so a substitutional handle must has been found. And yes, Barry, I see the similarities to the tone arm rest on a 112A portable, gazing into the kitchen where the 112a is standing on the kitchen table after yesterday's Plano Reflex work.
I did not know that reproduction cabinets were made in Switzerland in the 1960s and 1970s, that was quite shocking information in itself.
And without twisting the knife, Roger, I understand well you regret selling that Columbia horn gramophone, it is a real beauty !
