Triumph B record brush

Post by Josh_boro20 »

Hello everyone I have a triumph B with the horizontal carriage, I’m wondering if these came with record brushes? If so, does anyone have one for sale. Please let me know price and availability.

Are you talking about those Camel hair brushes that came with the recorder or the type like on a more modern turntable to brush the dust off the record?

I think Josh means a similar brush to those used on an Amberola I or Opera, that brush dust from the cylinder as it plays.
I've got one that was designed to slide down the rear arm of the angled carriage, but I can't say I've ever seen one designed to fit the horizontal carriage, but surely someone produced them?
If so I'd be very interested in seeing one.
The one I have is pictured below.
I think they are fairly common.

On a HORIZONTAL CARRIAGE, there is a little nickel bump that looks like a cut off nail. The little brush pushes on that, to dust the record I don't believe the clip on type with the little tab on each size, like someone posted, will work. That works for the 45 degree carriage.

Thank you.
I actually have one of these too.
I came with the brush pictured above when I bought it, but couldn't work out what it was for.
It basically looks like the metal end that holds the bristles of an artist's brush.
Now I'll just have to find where I've put it so I can use it.
I'll add a picture of it when I do.
Thanks again.

I have a horizontal carriage on my Triumph A; but I don't see that 'bump'. Where is it located?
