To my knowledge Reginaphone had an a very similar tonearm and reproducer as Cliftophone. Not very many companies used that design of reproducer.

I believe Bill Landon of Connecticut had one of these for sale a few years back at Wayne ( Reginaphone 900). I believe it was purchased by a collector in Houston, Tx. As I recall it was not in the best of condition. The tone arms an reproducers for these machines are extremely rare as they were made from poor quality pot metal and are often found today as a distorted mess due to the itergranular corrosion that so often plagues pot metal.
