Early 1960's broadcast phono arm ID
I'm trying to id a broadcast phono arm from the early 1960's.
The images were taken late 1963 so the arm is pre that date. The arm looks similar to an AT1005 Mk1 except the headshell appears to be integrated into the arm. The real give away is the headshell which looks like a Goldring G600 cartridge construction only scaled up. The headshell is flat on top and front which is similar to an early model ESL headshell but the bottom of the headshell has a cover like G series Ortofon shells. The images were captured from video so unfortunately low res, so I guess it adds to the mystery. Any insight into the id of this arm would be great! Steve. |

Yes that does resemble the Goldring cart - wild guess - the blurry tonearm makes me thing Rek o Kut.

Re: Early 1960's broadcast phono arm ID
Thanks for that.
Ok this is my best bet so far along the lines you suggested, however the headshell is not the same. My goal is to get enough information images etc or a sample to clone ie 3D print a replica of the headshell. Apparently it is possible to covert a 2D image into a 3D STL printable file which would solve this. Perhaps a forum member can do this! (would be nice) The headshell dimensions are W 26mm H 23mm D 55mm approx. Steve. |
