The proper size brass clock bezel might work if it was plated... Mine is original and looks very much like a clock bezel.

The larger Columbia machines (BD, BY, etc.) use an oversized platter making it difficult to find a bezel that will work. The Inside diameter (ID) has to be greater than 12". I've checked with our local clock shop, Merritt's

I would be more than happy to resurrect this topic for all of the other collectors still looking for these hard-to-find trim rings. Thanks.

I checked my notes. Although it play 12" records, the turntable is actually 12 ⅜" and the ID for the ring/bezel needs to be 12 ½" (OD 13 ½"). Any help from the members of the forum is appreciated.
