Does anyone out there have a Modernola? I picked up a case at auction but it's missing the books, motor, motor board tonearm and lamp parts. Can you tell me who made the motors and tonearms for these, or even better take a picture of the ones in your machine?

The arm in this image is definitely a Heineman arm, and I'd guess that it had a Heineman "Motor of Quality"

Thats some design on the lid interior. Mine only has the small one at the bottom.

The Meisselbach motor was retailed by Otto Heineman, so that accounts for the
OkKE
H trademark.
It shouldn't be hard to find what you need to complete your machine.
