For Sale: Complete Reginaphone Backmount Assembly $825

[downsouth]

Here is a hard to find item. This tonearm assembly is complete and ready for your rear mount Reginaphone project. As you can see in the photos, the nickel plating on everything except for the arm itself is in better than average condition. There is no damage. The aluminum tonearm can be used as it is or stripped and buffed to match the rest of the parts. I’m asking $825 which is what I have in it plus shipping and insurance to your location. Feel free to ask any questions. First one to post SOLD gets it. Thanks for looking.

Regards, Wes

Anyone interested in buying this to restore their Reginaphone, and who also needs the little base (plinth?) that it fits into, contact me! I have two of them, slightly different from each other, available.

[downsouth]

This a must have for that Reginaphone restoration.

[PeterF]

Absolutely. This is the hard part, which always goes missing. The horn is standard, and readily available.

I gave up on mine and sold it. Now here you are with the part I needed. Sigh.

[downsouth]

Sorry Peter. I’ve held on to this for several years thinking I would find another Reginaphone in need of these parts. I’ve decided to just keep the complete one I already have and let this one go to help someonelse. Sorry I missed out on helping with yours!

About 12 years ago, I visited the Vigo County Historical Society Museum in Terre Haute, Indiana, and they had a beautiful upright Reginaphone on display, with no sonic hardware. I’ve had my eye out for one for them for 12 years. When I saw this listing, I immediately contacted them. Because of the challenges of 2020, they declined to purchase because all funds are going to keep the lights on. Sad.

Thanks for trying John. I truly understand museums and the struggles they are faced with these days. It will eventually endup in the right hands. I’m sure.

If anyone is on the fence about this I will consider reasonable offers. I want it to go to good use.
