JGSkelly Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Operollo instruction manual View Advert I'm looking for an Operollo instruction/owner's manual. The record player was made somewhere between 1917 and 1920. I am not interested in ads. Thank you.

BenL Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) Operollo was a supplier brand that went to a third-party company for the mechanical hardware. Finding a specific instruction manual is going to be hard, they likely used a generic manual put out by the supplier. What style tonearm does it have?

JGSkelly Posted March 7, 2023 Author Share Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) Hello Ben, I found no identifying marks on the tone arm or reproducer. It was assembled or sold out of Detroit. I would expect an instruction manual came with it since it likely would have been the first record player someone purchased. Maybe a parts list would identify the manufacturer of the various parts, but most likely it would just list a part name and part number. The set screw or thumb screw holding the reproducer to the tone arm is missing. Note the black texture in photo #2 behind the plastic, which appears to have fractures (photo #3). The last photo is another detail view of the reproducer. Edited March 7, 2023 by JGSkelly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
