I just got this from a auction and it arrived damaged. I'm not sure what model it is but any information on it would be awesome. The tonearm elbow is broken and the joint where the reproducer attached to the tonearm has come lose. Anyone who was a spare tonearm message me please.
If you have a spare motor that would fit also please message me because there is no motor just parts. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes thats what's left of the motor it was stripped for parts. Still if I can at least get the elbow I could get it running. Thanks

The elbow in the machine seems good, is it seized? You could try to extract it, then polish the junctures to give it mobility... If it is of pot metal, it simply has swelled a bit. If you're lucky when extracting it, it could still be useful

No the elbow was damaged in shipping. The first two pictures are what was damaged. Basically the complete tonearm was broken.

The large gear that covers the spring, the governor, the spring itself and some small screws. It was parted out.

I'll try to put most of it together and see what you think.
