Columbia Q lift collar help
Hi, I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season. I was wondering if anyone know how to attach a Columbia Q lift collar to the reproducer carriage?

If I'm picturing what you're stating, it is soldered on.Garjen127 wrote: Sun Dec 15, 2024 10:13 pm Hi, I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season. I was wondering if anyone know how to attach a Columbia Q lift collar to the reproducer carriage?

Those I have here just slide on. Perhaps a picture of what you're dealing with would help.

I’ve installed these , I just slid onto the carriage and soldered it in place. Then adjusted /bent into shape . That’s how I did it, I guess it was right they work fine.

Okay. That's what I had in mind. If you don't want to do solder, then a tiny bit of epoxy would work as well. George, however, claims to do well with press fit only. No harm in trying that if it works for you. If you do want to use solder, just the absolute smallest amount is all you need.
