Just picked up a Brunswick 102 portable and have a few questions for anyone else who has one of these.

The screw holding the tonearm to its base is missing on mine. What does it look like and what are the dimensions?

Mine is missing the handle - what does the correct handle look like?

Also, I'm not sure my turntable is correct, and the felt circle is a bit small. Again, what's correct?

Lastly, the tonearm joint is held together with a knurled thumbscrew. This loosens every time the joint moves. Am I missing something, perhaps a locking ring or a spring setup?

Thanks in advance.

A few pictures would be a great help.

Kev, On Ebay there are a couple of Brunswick portables-----I think one might be a 102, also there is a brochure---don't recall what model portable. Enjoy

Thanks, Herb, there is indeed a 102 on ebay right now. Pics give me some idea on my questions. I also found 1 or 2 YouTube videos too. The brochure on ebay is also a sales brochure for the 102. I'll probably make a video of this machine soon. There has been some interest in it.
