Grafonola made in England

by david south » Thu Nov 28, 2013 4:26 am

I have a table model Columbia Grafonola, acquired from a family that had bought it new, probably about 1930. The reproducer is marked MADE IN ENGLAND and Patented 212137 and 215285.

It works well, but the gaskets around the mica diaphram have lost their resilience, and the people I got it from said it used to make a louder noise years ago, so I assume it needs new gaskets.

Does anyone know if the gaskets are the same as the ones on the US made reproducers, and where would be the best place for me to get some new ones?
