Columbia L-2 Phonograph

Post by VictorVV-X »

Hello all, I’ve been looking into this phonograph for a couple of months. I believe it is a Columbia L-2, but I am not completely sure.
What kind of motor does this model have?

I was wondering if the tone arm and reproducer are on the wrong way? Or does the tone arm spin around? The reproducer looks like it is at the proper angle to play records, but I wasn’t sure.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Here is a link showing the correct orientation of the tone arm.

I don't know about the motor.
