I like to wood grained metal finish. It makes the little machine interesting. Jerry Blais

It is very attractive, though I'm pretty sure that's an arm from a 1940's portable. A lot of these small machines had pot metal arms that broke, or were often detachable and got lost.

Re: Charles Shonk
I wouldn't call this a crapophone, looks more like an old make-do repair.

Re: Charles Shonk
I wouldn't call it a crap-o-phone either. Looks like just the tonearm/sound box was replaced.
There are photos on this page -- http://www.nadeausauction.com/lotdetails/?lot=93999 -- which show what look to be the original tone arm & sound box.

Re: Charles Shonk
I agree that the 2nd tonearm is the correct one
