The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Recently, a list member aaked where he could get these often missing and hard to find screws. I decided to make up a few. They are nickel plated brass like the originals, so they will not rust.

They are $10.00 each postpaid if you mail me a $10 bill (or a check) or $11.00 if you pay with Pay Pal. I only made up a few, but if the demand is there, I will make more.

I have attached a photo showing the original I copied and one that I made.
PM for further info. I still have the Columbia brass elbow thumbscrews too.
Thanks!

I confers, I was the one who asked about those screws. They are fantastic copies of the originals. I just put one in my Q floating reproducer. The price Dave is asking is a bargain considering the hard work he puts into these. Also, those Columbia elbow are a work of art and a bargain, too. I bought several of these, also. Dave is to be commended for making these hard to find parts at such a fair price.

Thank you very much for your kind comments, Harvey. It makes me feel good to know that you are so pleased with these items.

Where were you when I lost the one to my Eagle in a shag carpet?

Another item that Dave for me was the rod and knob that was missing from my second model Columbia AJ. I sent the push-pull plunger speed control, and he made a rod and correct knob for it. It is dead on accurate. Great job, Dave.
