WANTED: flat-bottomed needle cup for early Columbia Grafonola Nonpareil

Post by Zenger »

Greetings! I'm looking for a flat-bottomed needle cup for my Columbia Grafonola Nonpareil. Other early Grafonola needle cups might work, too. The cup should be approximately 1.5" in diameter and ⅞" deep. I imagine it would have a cap, too, like all cups for used needles, but I've never actually seen one, so if you have a picture of one, I'd really like to see it. And if you have one to sell, please let me know. Thanks!

Thanks to another collector who graciously sent me a picture of the cup from his Nonpareil, I now have a picture of what I'm looking for; this is it pictured next to a cup from a Victrola IX. If you have a cup like the one on the left -- again, the hole it should fit into measures approximately 1.5" in diameter and ⅞" deep -- please let me know. Thanks!

Hi- Take a look at the cups I picture. I have one that looks like the one on the left in your pics, but the ⅞" is throwing me.. It has the knurled ring on the lower cup as well as on the lid- Without the lid it is slightly over ⅞" high-- with the lid it is 1 ⅛" high. The other cup, on the right, is shorter, about 11/16" total.
Let me know if either may work for you.
