WANTED- Reginaphone tonearm mounting bracket

Post by schweg »

I have a Reginaphone which plays 20-¾ discs. It has an internal horn for the phonograph. It was missing the phonograph parts when I got it. Thanks to JAS, I have a turntable. From pics I've seen online, it looks as if a regular Columbia tonearm/reproducer work. What I can't find is the mounting bracket to attach the tonearm to the cabinet. There appear to be variations so I'm unsure what is correct. If anyone has a source for one, either original or reproduction, I'd appreciate your help. Thanks! Steve

here's mine:

To the best of my knowledge, the tone arm example that you show is a set-up commonly done to make a functional Reginaphone. I do not believe however that the Columbia arm is correct for a style 239 Reginaphone. There are 2 styles of arms that seem to be correct. One is pictured below, along with its mount. The other seems to be the arm used on Regina phonographs, probably like the one mentioned recently here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=44337

Either example is extremely hard to find. The one pictured cost me a small fortune :(

Ok thanks. I didn't realize it'd be that tough to find. Steve
