Hello all. I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have a Menestrel reproducer carriage that PedroFono can use to make me a new one? My Menestrel has a poor reproduction on it and I doubt I will be able to find an original. Here is mine. The screws are original but the body of it is made from aluminum.

Is it made like an original, but you don't like the crude finish? If so, this casting hasn't been cleaned up. Sanding the scratches & rough spots will smooth it out and then buff it until it appears to be nickel plated.

Yes it is. I understand there may be different sizes, but I am not positive. Sorry it took me so long to answer, I have not been here for a long time! Is that part for sale? I also need the tube that holds the horn and reproducer, the one on my machine is not correct, it needs to be longer like the original. pics below. The short one is the one I have - it is from a different machine. I need the longer one.
Thanks
John
