Columbia Type AA Graphophone corner columns???

[Zwebie]

As I recall, someone was recently looking for corner columns for a Columbia AA Graphophone.
I saw these on Ebay and was wondering if they would work? Hopefully yes, Bob S.

I needed a corner column for a Starr a few years ago and had local woodwork shop duplicate one for me. I do not recall price but it was amazingly reasonable. In fact he did two for me "because it was so easy." I followed instructions in "The Furniture Doctor," by George Grotz, for aging the wood (oxalic acid I think but not sure), colored the reproductions, and you can not tell the difference. Way cheaper than that eBay offering.

Thanks. I think he's having a laugh asking that for shipping.But all the same I appreciate you fellows keeping an eye out for me. I may give your idea a go,it can't be any dearer. Gordon

I've just emailed him and said that the shipping was very expensive and he then said he could drop it from $42 to $13. Wow that's a big drop. Gordon.
