Stylus for Matthew Reproducer

Post by zapper »

Can someone kindly post a photo of a spider mounted stylus on a Matthew's Reproducer.
I need to make this to complete my rebuild.
Thanks Brian

Hello ,the stylus on a Matthews reproducer is dome mounted , not spider mounted. I have had about three of these in the past and all have been dome mounted. I still have one example on a Lambertphone Companion model -- bear with me , I shall upload a picture of it in a day or two. Regards Dulcetto

Looks like my example is constructed slightly differently without a rim - bezel , the diaphragm being held in place by a rubber gasket-- see pictures Dulcetto

Hello Dulcetto
Thank you for posting photos of your reproducer. Interesting that they should be different mounts.Perhaps they were changed during their production. Can I be cheeky and ask if you can post your winding crank with some dimensions as I need to make a copy to complete the rebuild. I have attached a photo of the sort that suits mine machine.
Regards Brian
