[Phono-L] RCA Victor Portables

[Chris Kocsis]

That looks like the identical reproducer on my General Phonograph Model 
E, all right.  But it's got to be a replacement on that 1925 portable 
because it couldn't have been made until after the RCA/Victor merger.

I found a couple more examples of this same tonearm.  Here is one on a 
Birch: http://www.phonophan.com/portable.html 

And here is one on a US Army Special Services phono (go to the last row 
on the right, third picture from the bottom):

I hope somebody somewhere has a Model E with an original tonearm just to 
see it.  For the time being I discovered I will have to raise this one 
about 9/16" to make the soundbox stand up vertically.
