Hi Everyone -- I purchased a Vanophone a few months ago, and a friend kindly rebuilt the reproducer and tone arm for me. Unfortunately, though, during the shipping that returned the parts to me, the silver-colored ring (that holds all the parts of the reproducer together) cracked at each of the screw holes. I was able to glue the parts together, but it's not quite as good as new. I was wondering whether anyone has an original one of these floating around somewhere that they're parting out. In fact, I'd like a whole replacement tone arm, since my friend had to rig the down rod that acts as the stopper on these machines (he did a truly wonderful job!). I've got photos if that would be helpful to anyone. Thanks so much! Merle

As it was quite important for to get in touch with the seller I asked a friend to send that message over his account. It actually worked.
