I know nothing about this machine, but I wanted to take the opportunity to say "Hello!"
Darren! Nice to have you participating here on the forum!
We'll have to make sure we can meet up again someday soon, next time I meet up with Blain maybe!!

Re: Anyone out there have a Miraphone?
Hey Vince!
Thanks!
Sorry I couldn't visit that last time you were up in our neck of the woods. Definitely next time, a get together would be great. Maybe Blain and I can convince you to go out for Indian food. We have a killer place here in Woodstock. Blain's been, and he'll attest to how fantastic their food is!
Cheers,
Darren

Darren,
That's a killer Mira. I think they sound better than a Regina. Much more depth. Is that an 18"?

Re: Anyone out there have a Miraphone?
So thanks to folks out in the internet world, I'm getting closer to finishing this project. For example, here is the replica support casting I machined for the Miraphone's original tonearm assembly. The casting is now ready to be polished and nickel plated. Now to finish the turntable...
Thank you again to all here who have assisted me with dimensions & info I needed to help finish this project!
