The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Great job, Starkton !


(I wonder if this Globe Furniture has any relation to the "Globe-Wernicke" company that made all manner of file cabinets, book-shelves, and other office furniture ?)

I dug through my parts and I couldn't find a tone arm with the dimensions you mentioned. I have some that are bigger in diameter at the base and longer to the spindle. These wouldn't track the record correctly. Maybe you should put a post in the "Yankee Trader" section with the pictures and measurements.
Hopefully someone else might have the right tone arm and reproducer for you.

Hi,

from antother Ad (1918): "...plays all records..." So you need a tone arm / soundbox which can be rotated to play vertical and lateral cut records.
Something like this:

How could they "spin" this type of tonearm/soundbox to say "It will play any Disc Record without change of horn, soundbox, or adjustment." (emphasis mine)
While you wouldn't be CHANGING the soundbox, the rotation of it would certainly be an "adjustment" in my book. Just license on the part of the ad writer? (thanks, Starkton)

Aside to De Soto Frank: I wondered the same thing.

thank you for all your help, it was much needed. I hope soon I will find a compatible tone arm and sound box .

I should have the tone arm like the one in the previous post. I could give you the tone arm for free (has some cracks which have been repaired from 20 years ago) along with the nice reproducer. I would ask $35.00 includes shipping.
