WANTED: Heinemann reproducer

[briankeith]

WANTED: Heinemann reproducer that will fit my Manophone table model - it currently has a no-name portable reproducer on it

[Phono-Phan]

Do you have a picture of the reproducer you are looking for? I have several miscellaneous reproducers and if one of them is what you're looking for, we can work something out.

Looks as though you will need a Heineman tone-arm too, the one in the picture looks like a Victor arm.

I've never seen a Victor arm like this. Mike, can you tell us what Victor model it's off of..??.

Well... it could just be the picture, but I swear that looks like the tapering tone-arm off of something like an early VV-IX or VV-XVI. It is just the arm, the U-tube has been removed and replaced with that wacky shaped tube. Here is a picture comparison:

Nevermind, I see that this is actually the correct tone-arm, it just looks very similar.
You can see why I might have been confused for a second, looks like part of a Victor arm at first glance:

You see Mike, one of the reasons it pays to have books like "Look For The Dog", the Data book, any and all of George and Tim's books is you would have known that Victor's tapper arm patent expired. Once that happened....everyone (even my Grandmother) jumped on the band wagon. There was also no need to make "vertical" format records anymore as well. That patent ran out too.
Brian, sorry to interrupt your thread.... .

Very good, thank you Wayne.

Thanks everyone - it looks like this - says Manophone.

I have a spare tone arm and reproducer that should work. It is a Heinemann. The paper label says Artophone.
Reproducer is $65.00 or entire reproducer and tone arm for $ 100.00 postage paid.
