The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Original tonearm for an 1898-1899 Berliner Trademark phonograph. Has complete "Three Points Of Caution" celluloid tag mounted on top. There are three tiny tack holes on the underside of the arm, near the back, where a small limiting plate was once mounted. This was used to prevent the tonearm from descending onto the motorboard. Other than the tack holes, the tonearm is in good original condition, as you can see in the pictures. I will include the limiter and two of the tree mounting tack (the third is gone) if you'd like to re-mount it. Price is $1,000. Paypal payment please. I can bring this to the Wayne Mechanical Music show this weekend if you'd prefer not to have it shipped.
