Look at completed ebay listings... I believe that someone listed one for sale a coupe of months ago...Good luck.. Joe

Kind thanks, George. Yes, stranger things have happened! I'll keep looking. However, if all else fails I will simply make the missing parts. They look as though they could be duplicated, for the most part, on a lathe. Perhaps, at some point could I ask you for dimensions of the tone arm, bracket and reproducer? My machine is far too nice to sit incomplete and unplayable. I came across the image you included in another thread and have had a grand time studying it. A beautiful machine! Thanks again.

Joe, thank you for the tip about a past eBay auction. I'll certainly look into that.

Of course; just let me know and I can take closeup shots, provide dimensions, etc. Of course, as soon as you fabricate one, that will cause an original to appear!

I certainly appreciate your willingness to help me get my machine back in operation. I'll give my Yankee Trader request a bit of time to work and if there are no results then get back to you.

Thanks again, Wm.

Was this the Yankee Prince which recently sold on shop goodwill.com without a reproducer or tone arm?

[5Orient5]

Yes, it is the one auctioned by the Colorado Goodwill. Quite an experience... But, it's sitting here on its table next to me as I type this and all is well!

[VanEpsFan1914]

Good! Glad that story ended well. Some good machines end up in the Colorado Goodwill. I got a 1909 Victor III that way, missing a piece or two (a bolt, a horn) but other than that it was a fun project. I thought I wasn't ever going to get that motor to work.

When you finish yours, it would be great to post pics in the Featured Phonograph section. H&S phonographs are fairly hard to find and very unique.

Charles, here's a thread on one from 2014, but it would be interesting to note any differences. I've seen single- and double-mainspring versions:
