That could be 3D scanned and 3D printed with no problem... It doesn't have to be cast brass. In fact, since it is a 3" diameter hole in an Aretino record, you could easily make one from a piece of plexiglass cut out with a 3" hole saw and an electric drill, easier than 3D printing... not as classy as cast brass, but functional...

If I had one to copy it could be made in brass easily enough.

An exact replica in brass would indeed be nice. I was although surprised to notice how loosely the Aretino record seems to fit around the original adapter. Still, it would be great to find an original one (or an exact replica) of these for display!

I know that originals are out there, but in the past 40 years, this is the only one I have seen for sale and this sold fast... Not to say one won't show up tomorrow, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Until recently, I haven't seen that many Aretino records for sale, either... That being said, I may not have been "in the right place at the right time"... So, maybe whoever bought this wouldn't mind making repros...

The problem with making exact replicas in brass is the initial setup cost to get them cast, coupled with an infinitesimally small market for reselling them, you would probably lose money attempting to do this... The other problem is finding an original to copy or finding someone to lend you one to copy... I haven't found anyone willing to make reproductions of anything for zero profit... collecting is not a charitable cause to distribute goodwill for all...phonopal wrote:An exact replica in brass would indeed be nice.

That's why if you want to collect and play Aretino records, buy an Aretino machine or make your own cheap adapter, since it does not have to be brass to work...

I made and sold adapters for the Seeburg 1000 background music discs. I had 50 made and sold them in pairs. It took me several months to sell the 25 sets and I made virtually nothing on them.Curt A wrote:That could be 3D scanned and 3D printed with no problem... It doesn't have to be cast brass.
