These machines have very heavy lids. Over the years, many tone arms were smashed when they were left extended outwards and the lids came crashing down. Finding a replacement is next to impossible. Some folks have cannibalized certain low-end Columbia machines to get a tone arm that will work.

I would also recommend placing a "wanted" ad in our Yankee Trader section. However, you will want to review the posting protocol for that section.
Hope this helps.

Hi Paul, Those are commonly missing parts, I have two Grafonola Delux machines and one has been in need of the tonearm and turntable for 5 years . There was a complete tonearm with reproducer on ebay a year or so ago that went for around $600 ,if I remember correctly, which was more than I wanted to pay at the time. I would hold off buying a reproduction turntable until a tonearm is found. I believe a Columbia Nonpareil or Mignon has a tonearm that is similar but not exact. On the bright side your Delux has a wonderful sounding short bedplate Regina mechanism that you can enjoy until you find your missing phono parts. Happy Hunting Larry

From what I've been told, $600 was a bargain for that hard to find tone arm. Even though the turntable is a repro, I would buy it, just in case you never find an original. I doubt that many originals were junked. Also, you never know if Justin will make any more...

I may have what you need. I have a tone arm, reproducer and turntable from the second type Columbia Deluxe. I can provide pictures and dimensions if you are interested.
