Hello, I own a Columbia AJ and agree with the others that both the support arm and horn appear too short. Of course, you could replace those, but it might not be economical enough to do so. A new spring would not be expensive, if you are able to replace it inside the spring case yourself

When I've bought these kind of messed up machines, I never am able to find the parts, am not happy with it and end up dumping it a year or two later. Some people are good at this though and like this kind of challenge I know.

I made a fairly detainled response form my iPad, but somehow wasn't signed in, and so it is awaiting moderator approval.


The gist of the response was thst that particularl machine has some problems, but the Columbia AH in general is a good machine to own
if it is "right".
