NEW - Zonophone arm question #2

Post by Curt A »

I'm asking this for a friend... What attaches to the end of the round traveling arm that the horn support attaches to and then attaches to the support arm? Hope this makes sense... if it does make sense, does anyone have a spare?

If this helps, it's a front mount probably a Concert Grand, but I have not seen the machine so can't say for sure... The part is just some type of connector on the end of the round traveling arm that probably has a hole in it to allow the horn cradle support to pass through to the support arm.

After looking at several pictures online, it appears that the missing part is the horn support assembly that attaches to the end of the traveling arm... Does anyone make reproductions of this part or does anyone have an original that they would consider selling?

That is going to be a "toughie!" You will most likely need to find a complete traveling arm, or a repro, which occasionally come up on ebay. Also, you can try JAS Antiques, but they have not made a run of these for quite some time.

Good luck!
