David, I went back and check with the Columbia Phonograph Companion Vol. 1, and you are very right. There was more than one attachmemt made to work. on different machines. Oops, Thank you for correcting me. I should have double checked my facts before talking out of foggy memory and scatchy mental pictues. Still I would love to find a BE 2/4 minute attachment. I wander if the other attachment for the BK might work on my Columbia Oxford, it was based on the BK but my Oxford Machinehad has the bedplate and gearing all look to be identical to the BK. The Oxford case is plain with trim around bedplate and base of machine. It is correct to be without decals of any kind other than the double pinsripe on the Japaned black lacker bedplate. Information passed on to me by Tim Fabrizio about the interesting fact that they did not decal the case at all, just plane oak. The tone arm conmected to the horn support is painted glossy black to match the backmount and bedplate, the elbow connecting to the reproducer and the slide tube are nickeled. The slide tube just turns under and connects to the elbow unlike the BKT that has a "U" Tube at the end of the slide. I have a really nice larger Columbia Black Petals Horn with raised accents aound each petal and there this is a double yellow rose decal on each of the petals too. I really like the way it looks with the black parts of the machine. I will attach a photo with this posting so you can see the machine. I am quite proud of it as I am sure you can tell. But not as proud as my mahogany Triumph and Home model A long case. Any ways David, I would like to say thanks for correcting me, I have learned many things from the post that have been made here. Kenneth Keeton PS:The Picture of my Oxford Cylinder Phonograph is as an Attachment within this post.

Ken, I believe the 2/4 minute attachment for a BE, BF, and BG is different than used on the BK, BO and BQ. I think I have a complete 2/4 minute attachment for the later, but I think it is different than what you need. If you are interested in the attachment for a BK, BO, or BQ, let me know and I'll locate it and send some pictures.

Hello all, I posted a message several days ago and saw no replys. I have a Columbia BE in fantastic condition and I would really love to find a 2/4 minute attachment for it. It is the same attachment that fits the BK, BF, BG, BO and the BQ. If anyone has a complete attachment for sale I would really love to know and if you have any leads to where I can find one, it would be most helpful. Thanks much as alwasy, Kenneth Keeton _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
