[Phono-L] Vitaphone tone arm

[Bob]

I am in the process of downsizing and am selling off miscellaneous 
phonograph items.  I have a complete tone arm and diaphragm for a Vitaphone 
phonograph.  I know this design was manufactured and sold in Canada from 
1913 to 1916.  It is unusual in that the tone arm did not contain the 
diaphragm.  It was mounted in a stand at the rear of the arm.  The arm is 
made of wood and it vibrated.  The vibrations were transferred to the 
diaphragm which is mounted at the rear of the arm.  My arm is similar to 
those shown at http://www.keithwright.ca/CAPP/Vitaphone/vitaphone.html 
According to this web sight the tone arm was capable of playing both lateral 
and vertical cut records.  I can supply pictures of my parts to anyone that 
is seriously interested in it.  I don't have an idea of the value of this 
piece so I will sell it to the highest offer I receive.  If you are 
interested, email me at rvu...@comcast.net and I will provide detailed 
pictures of my part.
