Adam,
I have 3 of these in various stages of restoration. If you have any parts that you don't need I may be able to use them.

I don't have a lot of usable spare parts left, but I'll have a look regardless and send you a message on what I have. I won't have any use for them after I get my unit finished.

Re: The new guy with a Columbia basket case
Several years ago I created a PDF doc of Adam's Nickel Plating instructions - apparently it has disappeared from the forum. I found the original on my hard drive and am re-posting it here and in the "Tips" section, along with the Antique Phono forum, so it should be available indefinitely. Just to be sure you have it when needed, it would be a good idea to download it now...

Re: The new guy with a Columbia basket case
Hey thanks for saving that Curt! It made me wonder if I saved a pdf at the time too. I went digging in my files, and sure enough I also saved the same pdf that you attached, but i also archived my pages from this site back in 2017, so here's what the site used to look like with my write-up and the photos! There's some errors with text overwriting some of the images, but it's still pretty good all things considered.
