Re: Amberola reproducer rebuild/diaphragm replacement?
Disassembling a Diamond reproducer generally goes like this:
- Remove the pivot screw for the weight
- Pull out the stylus bar pin with needle nose pliers
- Remove the weight
- Unhook the stylus bar from the cord
- Unscrew the compression ring (use a flat piece of metal that will fit in the two notches)
- Remove the little ring that protects the gaskets
- Remove the diaphragm and gaskets (if it's hard to get out, blow gently down the neck of the reproducer).
Reassembly is the same steps in reverse order. (Note: when screwing the compression ring back in, do not over tighten it: just enough to make it airtight).
