Anybody have an idea what this tool is for?

I just purchased a needle cutter on Ebay, and included is this other tool allegedly used for phonographs. Does anyone happen to know what it is? Is it some early version of a multi-tool?

Thank you!

I have never seen one before, but it looks to me like it is a tool for working on or adusting a reproducer. There is a pin spanner, hex nut wrench (2), slotted spanner and potentially a small screw driver.

if you have a columbia reproducer, see if the pin spanner mates to the holes in the locking ring for the diaphragm.

Thanks, Brad. Nix on the Columbia reproducer, tho... at least not yet!

I'll bet you're right, Brad. I've seen something like this before, but I can't remember where now and it was in a Columbia machine. It lined up with the front ring on a Grafonola type reproducer perfectly. The hex "wrence" part was the size as the needle bar nuts as well. That'd be a handy thing to have, as Columbia reproducers can be a pain to get apart.

Thank you, Sean.

Guess this will be going into my ever-expanding tub of phono-fodder.
