Unusual fork fixing under the tapered carriage arm fixing ? it looks similar to & fits a Columbia Graphophone ?
Thanks for any suggestions

I think it belongs to a Columbia as well, it looks similar to the Graphophone reproducers.

It's a Columbia.

Later Columbia machines - AT, AO, and HG used both a reproducer and recorder that required the fingers (or a fork-like structure) to engage with the lift lever.

Here's an ad for Columbia reproducer with the fingers from around 1903.

thanks for the info

Good morning since this thread is about Columbia reproducers , I’d like to jump on it and say I’m still looking for a AQ reproducer with the round /ball end, if anyone has one for sale I’m interested

I have one of those with the long neck and lift fingers in original box and it's marked for a model AO.
