The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

So, I was taking apart the reproducer to my tabletop machine, and after removing the 3 screws that held the back on and lifting off the back, I ran into a problem. There doesn't seem to be a way to break it down any further. There are no screws or seams where it could come apart, it seems. Any suggestions on what to do next to continue the rebuild? I can't find any information about this reproducer online.

you may have to pry out that petrified rubber ring in the back and free the tube, but it doesn't come apart further. The diaphragm lifts out of the front once you remove the gasket- The gasket is the only thing holding it in place.

Thank you! This thing had me stumped all day.
