Help with finding information about a columbia

[boilermaker57201]

I have a columbia grafanola, and that's about all I know about it. Was hoping to find any information about it I can.

Welcome to the forum.

This book will tell you everything you want to know about your Columbia machine and the company that made it!

It is well worth the cost.

Thank you very much, I will start there. Information is the main thing I'm looking for. I have fixed the wind up motor, but I also need to have made or find a gear missing that the speed selector uses to slow the spin down. I figure knowing what I have will be a good start.

Glad you are making progress! The Columbia reference book is all about the history and machine selection.
Here is a link from Peter at Nipperhead.com to The Columbia user’s manual. It is not the service manual but will be of some help.

If you post a picture of the part that you need I’m sure that Forum members will be able to help you locate it.

This Columbia has the gold plated hardware so it’s definitely a nicer one! Good luck!
