Birch model 75 78 rpm electric phonograph

[radiotvnut]

No, there is no spring and it looks like there never was one.

Of course, I'll use it; but, I know what records to play on it and what records not to play. I have 78's that are in good condition; but, I have plenty of worthless ones that are well worn. So, playing those on here wouldn't matter.

I need to obtain some sort of scale, just to see how heavy this tonearm tracks.
