There is something wrong. Regardless of whether it is the correct tone arm for the machine, or the correct reproducer, the shaft of the needle must be straight up and down when viewed from the front. It should never lean into the groove at a sideways angle. Period.

Compare to another 122 shown below.  The owner of this one has not replied to a 
request for more pictures.

Anyone got pictures of their 122 with the correct angle?

Thanks,
Keith

 Is that the correct reproducer ?

Hi Folks,

Some one I know with a Columbia 122 portable pointed out the angle at which the reproducer leans at the end of the arm. I didn't think anything of it until I compared it with one of my HMVs. Is there some problem with the Columbia or is this an inherent flaw with the make/model? I've posted the photos on the page below (it should work with a copy-and-paste):
