Boy, I never expected all this help and information so fast. I was literally on the fence of either restoring this or letting someone else try their hand at it. I now think it’s gonna stay here. Thanks to everyone for all the information and photos. Is this tonearm possibly the same as in the Nonparallel?

Regards, Wes

Yes it appears to be cast. Thanks to Jerry B, I already have this exact turntable that I purchased a good while back. It’s a start!

It’s a small world! This is an upper section that I purchased from a dealer in New York several years ago to complete a 240 Deluxe Reginaphone I had. I used all the parts I could get from it and sold the empty case at Union about three years ago. Speaking of the Regina version, I’ve found everything for it except for the front extended dishing roller and turntable.

Does anyone have an idea what a fair price would be for a proper motor, reproducer and tonearm for one of these machines? I should mention that I have the parts and that there doesn't seem to be a lot of history regarding sales of these parts. I want to offer a fair price so that neither of us feels that we got a bad deal.

Thanks
