If you can send me a picture of it, I might be able to identify it
and get some spare parts for you.
As I'm located in the Netherlands, it's still relatively easy to get
parts overhere.
If yours is an Orthophon 212, I might have some spare parts lying
around

I also look for working wire recorder so if you have one to sell or
trade just drop me a line.

On our local Internet marketplaces, every now and then a wire
recorder is advertised.
Going prices are from some Euro 200 to infinity.
Count in some shipping to your country, which is Poland if I'm not
mistaking?
If you like, I can try to get hold of one here.
Remember that most gear selling here is 220V/50 Hz, so you'll
probably need a transformer and, in some instances, when an
asyncrhonous motor is used, a frequency convertor annex AC power
amplifier to run the motor if you're on 60 Hz.
Changing motor pulleys doesn't always work since some gear is driven
directly from the motor axle via an interchange wheel, the diameter
of which doesn't have influence on the wire speed.

BTW; I'm off to Germany next week without Usenet and e-mail access,
so don't be offended if it takes till after next week to get an
answer from me.

I've never even heard of Ortofon tonearms before. Were they any good?
