Now that's weird....there is a nice Climax on FB marketplace also missing the tone arm. What the heck? I guess there must have been a outbreak of tone arm thieves back it the day!?!

I Was trying not to scream "There is a rare phonograph for sale in this area that is still for sale"

He's had it on there for awhile. It would be worth $500 with the correct tone arm, just a parts machine without it. I told him it was missing key parts but he didn't seem to care.

If it had the arm it would be worth more than $500. You don't see horn machines for those prices now, not even the cheap ones.
