Will this fit these machines?

Yes...

Please note that these came from the “Second” Deluxe. It looks like the parts were polished through the Gold plating. From what I have seen, the earlier Deluxe parts were Nickel plated, (please correct me if that is wrong). The Reginaphone appears to have an additional, cylindrical piece below the tone arm to raise it up. I do not have that, but it could be made fairly easily and everything Nickel plated. I think that I also have a turntable with green velvet. Then turntables would need modification or an adaptor to be used on a Reginaphone. The motor that I am showing is in need of service, but is all there and does run, (in case you are interested it that as well). If you are interested in any or all of the parts we can discuss price depending on what you want. The last image is for reference only.

WOW... just when you think it might take 10 yrs to find these, they magically show up...

Paul, you better snatch these up - they're a needle in a haystack find...

There was a complete tonearm with reproducer on ebay a year or so ago that went for around $600 ,if I remember correctly, which was more than I wanted to pay at the time. I would hold off buying a reproduction turntable until a tonearm is found. I believe a Columbia Nonpareil or Mignon has a tonearm that is similar but not exact. On the bright side your Delux has a wonderful sounding short bedplate Regina mechanism that you can enjoy until you find your missing phono parts. Happy Hunting Larry

Could you help with the dimensions of the arm, length etc and the height from record surface to mounting timber base. I am looking to get a non genuine solution...

Paul’s customer decided not to have the machine repaired, so if anyone is seeking these parts, they are available. I had offered the tone arm and reproducer to him for $250.00, plus shipping. That offer is still good for anyone on the forum,

I can't believe that someone who has a Grafonola Deluxe wouldn't want it completed...
