The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Looking at a Columbia BH that has no turn table. I have extra turn tables but with my luck I don't have the one it needs. Could some one tell me what size it takes or what else would work?

The BH is a great looking little phonograph! Ours has a 10" turntable on it, which appears to be ⅛" thick plate and stamped from a die. I believe many models had that style and size turntable. Good luck on that acquisition.

Thank You Know when I get home I'll see if I have one laying around. But if it's like my power ball ticket (Nothing).

Here are some pictures of the correct platter you are looking for. This one is off of my BH.
I hope they help in your search.

Thank You for the pictures. I thought it was one solid piece. Look for holes in turn table. If I don't have one hope some one out there can help.

Unfortunately, this turntable is not for the BH, even though it fits. This turntable is for the tabletop Grafonolas. The correct turntable is what Startgroove has. It is an ⅛" thick turntable that is solid with no holes. The solid thin turntable was on the early front mounts, rear mounts and the client machines.

Thanks Harvey.
AH HA ! I see. It makes sense.
All along I thought it was correct . I guess I'm also looking for the correct platter now.
