Ok.
I hope one can be found , this is a great sounding portable. Big sound with a soft tone needle. Sorry I don’t have spare parts for that one.

I got my P-1 from my late friend Jerry Donnell several years ago. He told me the tonearm and arm support weren't correct, but it's a rare machine. edisonplayer.

Hmmmm. What's the overall length on that correct arm? I have an orphan that looks damn similar. It has an auto stop arm on it that looks like it would play with that device by the turntable as well.

Yes , there should be a vertical brake arm under the tone arm. Mine is missing.

The vertical brake lever is connected to the turntable switch not the tone arm.

The tonearm and arm support that's in the pictures looks more like what I'm looking for. The one that I have is a generic pot metal. edisonplayer.

Dang. The one I have looks totally correct but is over an inch too short. Sorry!
