Thank you for all the great information. I have a wood shop so I think I will replace the plywood. They didn't do a very good job on it plus the holes would block the lid hinge. I assume the bay link is close? Also I will need the mica and gaskets. Is there a place where one can purchase these? I can send closeups of the arm.

Re: Columbia Grafonola
Regarding the reproducer, you might want to contact Wyatt Markus ([email protected]). He works miracles restoring reproducers. As to the prop, measure the spacing between the holes in the lid where it attaches and get one that will match. Beyond that, it's guesswork as to exactly which one would have been on your machine, but given that it will have a new motorboard and quite possibly replacement mechanics, "close" is probably plenty good enough. At least, that's what I'd do!
