FOR SALE: NOS Astatic B-10 Broadcast Tone Arm $100

Post by gramophone-georg »

Here's a new old stock Astatic B-10 studio broadcast/ transcription arm from the mid 1930s, at the very beginning of widespread ceramic cartridge use. It has never been wired or mounted and comes in its original box with matching serial number. Please note that the box does have some splitting/ age damage. The arm has a few scuffs on the black bakelite that likely can be gently buffed away with plastic buffing compound.

If you are thinking of building a transcription turntable this is the arm to have. It's barely long enough to play a 16" transcription but it will work.

$100.00 OBO

NOTE: The little plug in the box is a plug adapter and should not be there. The other piece is the original arm rest for the arm which is included.
