I am looking for a 12 inch section of 3/8 inch half-round oak rope molding as used on some Columbia phonograph cases. This is for restoration of a Columbia HG cylinder machine. Would anyone have an old piece of this molding lying around and be willing to part with it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please reply off list. Thanks.

A message to all who have been waiting to hear whether reproduction trim rings can or will be made for their ring-less Columbia outside horn machines. Despite the interest shown on the message board and other phono lists, the best I could do is a proposal from Ron Sitko. He would require an initial investment of $2000-3000 tooling cost for each size (10" and 12"), along with a 100 piece minimum order. I know they seem simple enough -- clock bezels after all -- but it looks like we are out of luck unless we come up with the investment capital and a greater need for the parts. I tried. Greg Caringi
