Phonograph Parts & Accessories
Vintage phonographs often need vintage parts, or at least compatible reproduction parts, in order to function properly. Fortunately the Internet and auctions sites such as eBay are excellent sources of such parts, whether you need a replacement hand crank, a tonearm, a phonograph motor or a reproducer.One of the hottest markets is for horns for antique phonographs. Many times you may find an old phonograph in an antique store, or online, for a reasonable price, but the horn will be missing. Phonograph horns are often harder to find than the phonographs themselves, but with diligent looking you can find just the one you require.
Needles are another need for collectors and owners of old phonographs. Many people are not aware of it, but the oldest models of phonographs required that the needle be changed after every two or three playings of a record. This is because the needles wear down so rapidly that you risk damaging your precious records if you neglect to change the needles frequently.
In this category you will also find books on the hobby of collecting and restoring antique phonographs.
