The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hello all! I’m looking to buy an original reproducer that’s been rebuilt for the Columbia BNW. Mine came with a replacement “Goldring” from Germany and it just doesn’t match the look. I’d be willing to purchase a rebuilt reproducer outright or trade for the Goldring. Please view photos of the machine in question and what the end of the tone arm looks like. I’m located in Houston, TX.

That tube sticking out from the end of the tone arm does not belong there. It was likely added for the purpose of mounting the Goldring reproducer.

Thanks for letting me know! I’ll see if I can remove it when I get home today. Hopefully they didn’t adhere it to the tone arm.
