Columbia tabletop ID help please

Post by barnettrp21122 »

Hello!
I'm having trouble finding the model name of my Columbia tabletop machine. It appears to be the most basic lidded model.
I'd appreciate you help if you can identify it. Thank you!

Thanks, Doug, for your quick reply!
Yes, I think it looks closest to the "Jewel" but I notice that my on-off speed control is located on the right front of the turntable, not the left as shown in an advertisement I've found. Maybe the configuration changed with the name staying the same? Thanks again.
