I'm in need of the little swivel connector that connects the tone arm and reproducer together for a Mandel phonograph.

I'm making an Update: If you have any Mandel parts, whether they be reproducer, tone arm, motor, etc, let me know. I'd be interested. I've realised how hard it may be to find this specific part, so I've considered it may be easier to just get the whole tone arm.

I'm interested in almost anything Mandel related you're willing to part with.

Thanks, Ben.

I seem to remember that you picked up a Model 3, is that correct? I have a 3
Mine seems to have the same swivel connection as you have shown.

Note, I bought this many years ago just for the reproducer that was attached.
The arm is shorter than what is on a Model 3, and the swivel and mounting disc is different too.

Here are close-ups of the rotating part...

Thanks, James. It does look a little different, I don't think it would match my Reproducer with the machine. I could just swap them out and get the right reproducer. I just really want to get it running. If you run across any more parts let me know!

I'm still looking for this specific part if anybody could help.

If you have any random parts lying about could you check for me? I would like to get this fixed fast, instead of my jimmy rigged way of keeping the tone arm on the reproducer. (I'm kinda in need of this part quite a bit.)

Thanks, Benjamin_L.

Sadly I need the earlier tonearm joint. (The shorter one that holds the style one reproducer.)

There was one listed on Ebay earlier, but the connecting joint was broken also.(http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-Antique-ph ... 2084383649? )

I tried contacting the seller awhile back. Just to see if they'd sell some parts from it, since it's in such bad shape. But I haven't gotten a reply.
