Up for sale is this Columbia Nonpareil I just finished working on. I restored the finish, cleaned/regreased the motor, and rebuilt the reproducer. It’s surprisingly loud and clear!
It was the subject of this thread: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=44622&hilit=Nonpareil
Feel free to ask any questions. I would prefer local pick (or somewhere within a reasonable driving distance). I am in Knoxville Tennessee
Asking $300

Re: For sale: Columbia Nonpareil—$300
hi very interested!
I only really want the complete tone arm assembly and turntable for a retrofit project.
I am in Australia so shipping a killer. I've been told these tone arms fit the Grafonola Delux with some minor mods.
Happy to pay a good price for just the arm complete and turntable. can you also confirm arm length?
Can chat via other means if easier? paulallanlowe@gmail.com

REALLY??? After you were just offered original parts for your machine? Now you want to bastardize a newly restored machine?Paullowe wrote: ↑Fri Aug 27, 2021 11:47 pm hi very interested!

Re: For sale: Columbia Nonpareil—$300
Please, I posted a few posts trying to fix my unit.
If I paid $300 and then was horrible then I might deserve comments. I was being honest.
Hopefully the parts offered will suit.
No disrespect ever intended. I love these machines but really want mine to be working.

Hi Paul,
I apologize for not being more prompt in marking it sold. I sold it locally last week.
I don’t think this tonearm would work with your machine anyways…. It’s longer than the usual Columbia tone arm.
Good luck finding parts for your machine!
