WANTED: Columbia Graphophone BII parts

[Phonofreak]

Sorry for being late chiming in on this thread. A standard Grafonola tone arm was mounted upside down. Use the early one like from a model 50, or any of the earlier ones. To get the proper orientation, remove the limit screw from the arm. The later arms have a base that is too large and won't fit. When you find the arm, you might have to sand the base, because the pot metal sometimes swells up. This should fit in the socket. Make sure the arm moves freely up and down, and side to side in the bracket. The set screw that goes into the bracket will hold the arm in place. The turntable is a 12" one. This is essentially a Model 50 motor, bedplate and mechanism placed in a modified BII case. The reproducer should be a Grafonola No. 6. You have a very unusual machine, and I hope you enjoy it for many years to come.
