I have seen one period advertisement that shows an aluminum horn, but I like the small morning glory style better. Can I have yours? LOL

Unfortunately not, Dave, it is the only one I have. But if you search the French ebay (and are willing to pay hefty shipment costs), you will find Pathé aluminum horns that will fit.

Thanks, Andreas, for pointing that out. If I can't find something local, I may have to resort to this.

Pretty sure they have a spider stylus. I can send a picture when i get back home if you don’t have one.
Aluminium horn more appropriate but a flower horn would look better. Finding a small flower horn with the larger small end will be difficult indeed.

Hi Budsta! I have seen photos on the internet of this reproducer with a few different types of stylus holder. I think I will just make one similar to those used on a Columbia floating reproducer.

I needed a reproducer for my Pandora as it came with a recorder. They practically never turn up on there own. I eventually was fortunate to get one from the UK
