I have 7 or 8 unidentified platters which need a new home. This is the first one I cleaned up with a wire wheel and buffed the rim. This platter is a tad under 10 inches. Any guess as to what it belongs? TIA

Re: Platter ID
Looks very much like the platter on my Grafonola. No indention for the cross bar on a Victor. The spindle on the Grafonola is conical and the hole in your platter looks similar.

Re: Platter ID
If not Columbia it could be something Swiss.
