johntrem Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 My 1967 Gibson/Kalamazoo KG2A came with a Gibson Short Vibrola with the Teaspoon style arm, flat with three adjustment holes. Being a dork, many years ago I took the arm off as I wasn't really using it and instead of storing it in the case I put it in a drawer and of course, it ended up disappearing into The Phantom Zone, never to be seen again. From what I've gathered this type of vibrato arm is rare. Most of the photos of Kalamazoos I've seen have the round style arm with the white or cream colored plastic handle. Being anal I'd really like to find a replacement, the original teaspoon type. Also, being a cheapskate, I don't want to pay an arm and a leg for it. If all else fails, I'd be willing to replace it with the rounded, plastic handled type. Anyone know of anybody making copies or somewhere selling them that aren't ungodly expensive? Sorry for the double post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johntrem Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Well, I called my local guitar repair shop to see if they had any teaspoon arms gathering dust anywhere (No) but was told of a website in Germany where they make copies of hard to find parts, www.crazyparts.de and to my delight they make one. Thanks Lays Guitar Shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
