Re: Grafonola Delux parts wanted please!
These machines have very heavy lids. Over the years, many tone arms were smashed when they were left extended outwards and the lids came crashing down. Finding a replacement is next to impossible. Some folks have cannibalized certain low-end Columbia machines to get a tone arm that will work.

I would also recommend placing a "wanted" ad in our Yankee Trader section. However, you will want to review the posting protocol for that section.
Hope this helps.

Re: Grafonola Delux parts wanted please!
Hi Paul, Those are commonly missing parts, I have two Grafonola Delux machines and one has been in need of the tonearm and turntable for 5 years . There was a complete tonearm with reproducer on ebay a year or so ago that went for around $600 ,if I remember correctly, which was more than I wanted to pay at the time. I would hold off buying a reproduction turntable until a tonearm is found. I believe a Columbia Nonpareil or Mignon has a tonearm that is similar but not exact. On the bright side your Delux has a wonderful sounding short bedplate Regina mechanism that you can enjoy until you find your missing phono parts. Happy Hunting Larry

Re: Grafonola Delux parts wanted please!
From what I've been told, $600 was a bargain for that hard to find tone arm. Even though the turntable is a repro, I would buy it, just in case you never find an original. I doubt that many originals were junked. Also, you never know if Justin will make any more...tictalk wrote: Thu Aug 26, 2021 7:00 pm There was a complete tonearm with reproducer on ebay a year or so ago that went for around $600 ,if I remember correctly, which was more than I wanted to pay at the time.

I may have what you need. I have a tone arm, reproducer and turntable from the second type Columbia Deluxe. I can provide pictures and dimensions if you are interested.
