Wanted: Busy Bee & Talk-O-Phone Needle Bars

Post by colmike1 »

Wanted: Busy Bee Grand & Talk-O-Phone Needle Bars. It seems that the former owner had lost the thumb screws out of them, so he created a much larger hole to put wood screws in to hold the needles. If anybody has spares from broken reproducers, please let me know. Thank you.

elkhorn14 …… Ok this is what I have found. Looks to be complete less the needle thumb screw and a chunk broken off. Screws look to have been re plated, will probable need to chase the threads. Ball bearings, springs, mica, retaining ring and paper label present. Needle thumb screw busted off in needle bar of course.
