Seek Table-top 15-1/2" Polyphon Motor Start Button
By Paul Baker

Hello all, this is a long shot but, just in case anyone has an
incomplete Polyphon motor in their "spares box", I need a part for
a table top Polyphon that plays a horizontal 15-and-1/2-inch disc.

The Polyphon model is shown in a circa 1900 Polyphon catalogue as the
"Eugene" model and has a push/pull button to operate the motor, on the
right hand side of the case near where the winding crank is fitted.

As shown in the image, that part has snapped at its weakest point and
is now in two pieces. As far as I can see, it is not possible to repair
it owing to the thinness of the metal at the point where it has broken,
so naturally I am looking to replace that part, either with an original
or a reproduction part. Any help appreciated.

Greetings from UK,
Paul Baker
Gosport, England
