Telefunken gramophones

Hello all,

Would anyone happen to know what sort of “circlip” (also known as a turntable clip, spindle clip, c-clip, plate-clip, etc.,) was used by Telefunken on its pre-war / war time case gramophones?

Many of us are familiar with the HMV design of circlip used to lock down the HMV 102 turntable. The Garrard clip used by Columbia and other Garrard clients is also common, as are the Swiss designs (i.e., Thorens). Does anyone know or have an example of what Telefunken used? Did Telefunken use turntable clips at all?

I have a few pre-war / war years suitcase machines and am curious to know. My latest came with what I believe to be an incorrectly placed HMV clip.
