Orthophonic Reproducer Question

Post by melvind »

I am looking for information on how to tell a Brass Victor Orthophonic reproducer from one that is made of pot metal. I have heard a few things from other collectors, but am still not clear how the distinction can be made when looking at one. Is there a "for sure" tell tale sign on them?

Thanks

Dan

According to previous discussion here:
