The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I am currently working on a Columbia Viva-Tonal 612. It has a drop-down / slide-in from door and both hinges are broken. I assume that these hinges are the same across other Columbia machines with a similar front door. Could anyone please post pictures of such hinges or maybe let me know what they are called so I can search for them? I would really appreciate any help or suggestions. Please see attached pictures for the machine and the remainder of one hinge that is still attached. This machine has been in the owners family since new and she wants to preserve it.

Thanks

Answering my own question in case someone else needs this in the future. I found that there was a sliding wood piece stuck in the bottom rear of the cabinet. The door is attached to it via straight pivot hinges on each side and can so drop down and then slide in at the bottom. The hinges were probably always prone to breaking if too much pressure or weight was put on the open door.

If anyone has such hinges in their parts bin or can let me know were I can find replacements I would very much appreciate it. Internet searches so far have come up empty.

Thanks
Andreas
