Need to replace

Tone arm
Tone arm bracket
Turntable
And reproducer

Anyone know where I can go? I saw some on eBay but don’t know if the parts are interchangeable with other models. Can anyone help?

Mv,

The turntable and soundbox are interchangeable with other machines but the tapertube (tonearm) and support base are specific to the 8-12.

I have a complete 8-12 4-spring motor with wooden board, brake, speed indicator, lift knob and turntable. I have the tonearm, the 8-12 specific support base and gold Orthophonic soundbox but they are not in great shape. $100 for everything. Contact me at [email protected] for pictures and details.

You can also check with George Volema at Great Lakes Phono, he often has a good supply of parts.
