thank you gentlemen for your help on this matter it is greatly appreciated.
i did find an original orthophonic reproducer and will hopefully have it by
mon. or tue. and by that time i will hopefully(?) have finished putting it
all back together. as i have completely stripped it down and sanded every
piece of wood bare. i am now in the process of restaining it and cleaning,
polishing the rest of the components. the cabinet suffered quite a bit of
water damage due to a major flood we had here in the fifties. which is
probably when the reproducer broke and was replaced by one from the fifties.
i'm looking for a thumbscrew for the pal so i can try to sell it to offset
the cost of the reproducer i bought. so i can say to my wife look honey i
sold something (for a change). thanks again to all.
best regards
dan
