Seek Spring-Motor Repair Shop
By Mark Merrill

I am looking for parts and information for a table top model phonograph
I have that needs restored.  I believe it is very similar to a Columbia
standard machine.  I need a horn.  It is the type of horn that screws
into the holder.  The threaded area is approximately 1 3/4" or 2" in
diameter.  The horn would be of the smaller morning glory type.  I will
take a horn in most any condition.  If anyone knows where I can locate
one I would be forever grateful.

I also want some opinions on where a good place (and inexpensive) is to
send the motor in to have the mainsprings replaced.  The on/off switch
was broken off and needs to be re-tapped so it will screw on to the speed
control screw.  Thank you for your help on this matter.

Sincerely,

Mark Merrill
