I need a reproducer for a Columbia machine. The reproducer looks like the BI Sterling.I need one in working condition. Thanks Lynn. email [email protected]

I suggest you should post a photo of the tone arm on your machine. Columbia went through some design changes during its history.

Does your tone arm have a large, flat faced disc on its end, with three screw holes? Or does it have a hollow flange, with a spring-loaded pin?

Thanks Bill, Yes mine has the three holes.

Good. you want an "Analyzing" reproducer, which would have been used on most Disc Graphophones until about 1908.

The "Standard" disc phonograph model "A" also used the same reproducer, although it had no markings on it.
Adapting an Ultona reproducer to it is also pretty easy.
