Edison Carriage Reducer

Post by 12jslater »

Is anyone currently making reproduction reducers as I cant find any original ones, if not I may make my own on my lathe but I would like to know first.

Thanks,Jake

If you mean a ring for using a C, H or K into a larger carriage, yes, Ron Sitko makes them.

His contact info is in the links section here.

In my opinion the Sitko reproductions are preferable to an original pot metal reducer. Jerry B.

Thanks for the advice I'll try to make one myself on my lathe first, itcan't hurt.

Take note that the hole for the reproducer is not concentric with the outside diameter; there is an offset to place the reproducer in the proper position.
