The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

As I recall, someone was recently looking for corner columns for a Columbia AA Graphophone.
I saw these on Ebay and was wondering if they would work? Hopefully yes, Bob S.

Hi Bob, Thats was me looking for the corners,thanks for showing me that but wow he's asking a lot for them and the shipping to the UK is astronomical. I only need one.Thanks Gordon

I needed a corner column for a Starr a few years ago and had local woodwork shop duplicate one for me. I do not recall price but it was amazingly reasonable. In fact he did two for me "because it was so easy." I followed instructions in "The Furniture Doctor," by George Grotz, for aging the wood (oxalic acid I think but not sure), colored the reproductions, and you can not tell the difference. Way cheaper than that eBay offering.

Thanks. I think he's having a laugh asking that for shipping.But all the same I appreciate you fellows keeping an eye out for me. I may give your idea a go,it can't be any dearer. Gordon

can't believe he's not selling them one at a time..

LOL

I've just emailed him and said that the shipping was very expensive and he then said he could drop it from $42 to $13. Wow that's a big drop. Gordon.

Hi Gordon, I am in the UK and only need 2! If you want I will try to get them and let you have one as long as we don't bid each other up !!
Cheers

Hi Andrew, I was going to bid on it but I wont if your ok with doing that, thats great with me. don't forget what he quoted me for shipping. Many thanks Gordon.

Hi Gordon,

I will have a go for them and let you know if I win !
Cheers
