Hi folks

I have never ventured into trying to restore one of these but I came across someone having a good house clearance and out of the stuff was this wind up gramophone, the only trouble is that the Primaphonic sound head made I think by Thorens has took a bit of a bash and as you see by the photographs the spacer which measure 40mm dia 10mm thick and has a 25mm hole in it has busted and the sound head has done the same, I think there should be a pin of some sort which locates in the arm where the sound travels along.

Perhaps someone might be able to point me in the right direction as to where I might be able to get a good one.

Best wishes

Ken
