Columbia Graphophone Type " BC "

Post by Lee »

Hello, I have just received a Columbia Graphophone type BC. I of course need reproducer parts. I have seen the Reid Welch Youtube video but can't find his information. I don't even know if he has parts that he can sell. I also have seen something about Harold Breaker in British Columbia but still no dice. If anyone has contact information for type BC re-fabricated reproducer parts, please let me know! Thanks!! Lee

I have been meaning to post the same question. The last time that I made a new rubber shoe I cut it out of an old hard rubber radio panel, but my nhands are not so steady now, and a purchased part would be just what I need.

Just an FYI...I spoke to Harold yesterday and he has no reproducer parts,etc... made for BC's. His plans are still in the development stage and wanted me to pass this info along to those inquiring.

Last time I checked, Reid Welch was in prison, so I guess he won't be actively making reproducer parts for a while.

I have two BC's in excellent condition for sale, in case anyone is interested.

I believe Paul Baker makes these parts. I don't have his contact information.

I have two which need work, including one with a combination gear. ;)

Just for clarity....is there anyone currently able to provide reproducer spares for BC? My problem is that apart from Mica & main metal pieces, all the smaller pieces are missing!
