Precisely why I asked if the decal under the lid indicated it was a "Pooley Phonograph".

And thank you Orthofan for the info on the Pooley Phonograph.
I never knew they made there own machines branded with their name, so there's a good chance the OP got the name from under the lid.
And if so, there's a good chance the tonearm etc shown on the machine you posted will be what the OP needs for his machine.
Well done

Thanks. I did some research on my own and came up with a few things. I think the complete unit goes for 80-100 bucks or so based on some auction prices I've seen. But that's the motorboard and guts I need. If I can locate one over the next couple of months I won't kick it to the curb.
