Is this an original or reproduction Columbia Graphophone reproducer? It appears to have years of wear, but I don't know enough about these to be certain. Is there a definitive way to tell?

It came with a box.

It plays beautifully!

Thanks! Cliff

I'd say repro Cliff- Look at the cross-hatch on the neck of the reproducer and the rough casting that is out of round and has pits in it---

Brad

I agree repro.

Rich Gordon

Agreed-- repro.

Repro with wrong thumbscrew.

Thanks! Repro it is. It didn't really fit right in the box anyway...
