Dan Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Good afternoon all I recently bought an Arionola phonograph I’m trying to finds parts . Precisely the tone arm and reproducer. Does anyone know of a source for parts for this machine.? I didn’t see much on eBay? Any help is greatly appreciated. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenL Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) For an off-brand, Arionola has a fun history. They were manufactured by the Arion Manufacturing Co. of Boston, which originally made shoe horns. Of the ones I've seen they've used supplier parts, so I'd suggest adding some photos to help.

Django Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 This is what I have. The reproducer needs seals around the diaphragm. The should polish up likely. Approximately where would these parts be heading to? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtA Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Dan, you need to jump on those, they are exactly what you need and you may never run across them again. I have a complete Arionola and have never run across parts or a salvage machine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks George, I don't know if Dan is a newbie in the hobby, but it might help if you gave him an idea of what you would consider reasonable for these parts, rather than ask him. I've been collecting for 40 yrs and wouldn't have a clue what to "offer" for them. They may be hard to find, but Arionolas are not a rare, expensive machine when complete... Of course, he's interested, he won't find them anywhere else and you don't have a use for them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offers are hard from either side, but I think that it was a fair deal. I do appreciate your enthusiasm. It’s nice to see that some people still care. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
