Brunswick Ultona - replacement tone-arms ?

Post by De Soto Frank »

I just acquired a nice Brunswick model 117 upright in "golden oak", but unfortunately the pot-metal taper-tube is broken just behind the 90* bend at the vertical swing joint for the Ultona 3-way reproducer.

It looks like an old break, that a previous hobbyist tried to repair , from the inside with fiberglass and epoxy.

The rear elbow & mounting flange, and the front sub-arm ( with the sliding weight) are all usable.


Has anyone reproduced just the center section, or even the whole arm ?


:monkey:


Thanks,

Lots of Brunswick parts show up on eBay. You shouldn't have to wait long.

George Vollema will likely have an original.

Brunswick made a brass tonearm as well. If I were you, I would keep my eye open for one of these. Just a suggestion. Jan
