I just purchased a Columbia model AJ and need an aluminum tone arm and possibly a horn. Any help, I would appreciate it. John

Justin at JAS antiques should be able to supply a tone arm. Sorry, no horn at this time..

Columbia made 3 different versions of the AJ. First, there was a top wind, similar to a Berliner. The Second model use a fancy gingerbread case with the crank on either the side or back of the case. The Third model had a more plainer case with corner columns. Each machine had it's own distinctive arm. Which machine is yours?

I have a horn that may work for you.

Please check your P.M.

This is an early model, top wind similar to a Berlinger. Does anyone know the correct horn to have with this one? Horn with a leather elbow or the metal one??

The horn you want is similar to what Bob is selling. It does not have the fitting on the end that fits the metal elbow. The horn is about 14" long with a bell 9 ½" in diameter. I think it is the same as a Victor horn that uses a leather elbow. Any input on this?
