Found : A Columbia Grafonola Tone Arm Elbow

Post by Dave D »

I would be interested in the entire tone arm and elbow assembly, too.
Thanks!

There are at least 2 types of these depending on the machine. One type has a set screw to hold the elbow and tonearm together, the other does not. The type using the set screw is easy to take apart and put back together. The other type is nearly impossible to refit once you separate the pieces.

Also, some of these have a "hook", presumably for a brake, on the base, but some do not. Perhaps it would be a good idea to post pics and, if you can, explain in a bit more detail just what you need.

Thank you for taking the time to give such a detailed response. I got lucky and found what I needed.
