Is anyone currently reproducing the upper portion of the tone arm/horn support bracket and turntable for the Style 143 'Reginaphone'? This is the 15.5" serpentine case model. Interested in original parts as well!
Thanks!

Hi John,
Check with Al Meekins. You can do a google search. Also, on ebay, every so often I see the parts you are looking for, but they are expensive. The seller is museelectric. I don't know if that's the correct spelling. If you look up Regina music box on ebay, you might find it. Good luck with your search.

Thanks Harvey! I had already sent Al an email when I posted and am awaiting his reply. I'll check out the eBay seller as well.

Hey John. Also try Raphael Cole....sometimes he has spare parts.

BTW, I saw at least two brackets at the Orlando show, but missing the arm and elbow. Not sure if a standard Columbia arm/elbow will work or not??

Thanks for that suggestion. I'll probably see Raphael at Union next week, and Nancy Fratti, and Marty Roenigk's son, as well. I'm pretty sure those brackets use a typical Columbia external horn with a flange-mounted Analyzing reproducer so the arm shouldn't present a problem. IIRC, the turntables have a taller spindle collar on the bottom so that the table will clear the music box comb assembly -- is it smaller than 10" in diameter?
I'm looking for these parts to help the Vigo County Museum in Terre Haute, Indiana complete an example on display in their collection. It sits upon it's matching Herzog base cabinet and has a zither attachment.
