The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

This is a cast iron upper works for a Columbia AT. It is complete with decent stripping and decals. The carriage is not frozen and moves freely.

Are sure that's cast iron? Check it with a magnet...

You Betcha! Hi George,
If this is something you can use I can bring it to the Wayne show.

Thanks Bill - - I don't need it, but was wondering why the gear teeth didn't seem to mesh in this image:
The image showing the magnet makes the gears look okay. Must have been an illusion!

Good luck with the sale - -

It is only that in the last photo, the small gear is in a more advanced position or plane than the big one. That makes the illusion that the teeth don't match. It's only perspective.

This would be the perfect example to make a pattern and replica trunnions, since they are no longer made.

$175 is a cheap way to start a small specialty business...
