Re: Cecelia phonograph wire
Well I know the horn is still there as I have had the machine opened up I'm now a little concerned as to the validity of the spring drive motor which is in the machine right now.

Re: Cecelia phonograph wire
Just not sure what other "improvements" have been made to the machine. I'm having a terrible time trying to fine an original tonearm for this machine too. Any help?

Re: Cecelia phonograph wire
As mentioned earlier, the first place I would try for the tone arm and reproducer (and I am sure from past experiece many other Forum users would agree) is George Vollema. See the earlier post in this thread about that. Give him a call. He has one of the best collections of old parts in the country. His prices are reasonalbe and service is great.
The fact that somebody switched from a mechanical to an electric reproducer would not in and of itself make make me think that the motor was tinkered with.
