The Mignon in the other thread seems to be a bit newer, the reproducer looks like it may be the usual Type 6 Grafonola reproducer. But you are right, the decorative pulls look original as well. And if you look at the Circassian Walnut model in the same thread, it has even different decorative pulls on the upper doors, but a simple know that looks like those on your machine on the lower door. Maybe these knobs are correct after all? I'd maybe hold off on replacing them. Problem with Columbias is that there are so many different variations, but that's also what makes them interesting. Three of my four Columbias are either variations from those listed in Baumbach's book or are not listed at all.antique1973 wrote: Ok thanks Andreas. I will see if George V has the right ones.
Can I ask what you think about the Mignon in this previous thread:
http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewto ... lit=mignon
It seems a little different than mine. It has the decorative pulls I was referring too, but also the turntable is larger, the motorboard is flush, and there is an additional control perhaps a brake lever?
I agree that the other machine probably has a brake or start/stop lever integrated into the speed control, that's also why I think it may be a newer model than yours.
