Columbia tone arm & reproducer

Post by briankeith »

I am also in need of a Columbia Grafanola tonearm and reproducer assembly - like the one pictured here. Un-lidded machine, arm mounts into the large black steel bracket on the backside of cabinet as pictured.

I might be able to help with the reproducer. I don't know if you have an early or late machine. Is the crank male or female? A female crank is early, and a male crank is late. I have one of each reproducer.I see these arms and brackets all the time on ebay. You have to check the elbow, because these crack and break. PM me if you need a reproducer.

I will have to check the machine to provice you all with additional info. The black steel bracket is still there so I just need the tonearm assembly since my elbow is shattered.

Hi Brian! That back bracket is cast iron, not steel. There's a big difference between the two!

I now have the black cast iron bracket - I just need the tonearm & reproducer assembly as my elbow is broken and the reproducer is totally missing.
