The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Some years ago I made a batch of EMG tonearm rests---solid brass and nickel plated as per originals. I still have a few left so please PM me if interested.

Would it be possible to see a picture of an original in use on an EMG? Both of my gramophones seem to have a later version, fastened into the motorboard with two screws and a round post.

As far as I know, your gramophones are Expert which had different tonearm rests to EMG.

There are three types of EMG rests I have come across---shown in the attached photos, the earliest of which (guess) is wooden which was then followed by flat steel with top spring clip (later dispensed with), finally followed by the design I have made and have available---first photo.

I have only ever seen one design of Expert equivalent---shown in the last two photos, thus you are all present and correct !
