Ken, personally I wouldn't buy it. Not because its not a nice machine, but if
I'm going to spend $1,300 on one I am going to get something that I like
better. I am not a big fan of the oddball Columbia disc machines, mainly
because parts are not easy to find if something needs repair.

Hi Ken,
When the economy was good, they were worth about $1000.00 - $1200.00. With the
bad economy, It shouldn't sell for more than $700.00. If you can get it for
less than $700.00, then go for it. It would be worth more depending on the
condition. Good luck with it.

Ya, I was thinking the same thing too, that it was to high of a price for that
machine.

I took two 5-40 nuts locked them together on the screw. Then with a Dremel with
a thin cut off blade and holding the nuts with vice grips. I cut the nut and
screw at the same time. You loose a nut but it is easier to put in a slot in
the small screw.

I am just about to head out to a hardware store that everyone has suggested in
this area and see what I can find in 5-40 and then I will go from there. Wish

Basically, if it's cheap and in good, complete working condition (reproducer,
crank, horn and all obvious parts), go for it... If it's more than $4-500, then
check it out, as far as value. If it's missing parts, then it might be hard or
impossible to find replacements.

The main problem with finding set screws, is not the 5-40 thread, it is the
slot, as opposed to a socket head. I have a local fastener company that stocks
a bazillion screws of all types and shapes and has plenty of stock, but slotted

the lawsuits between Columbia and Talkophone, Columbia bought out Talkophone as
