Re: Show us your reproducer
Some may remember this one. I tend to bond with things that I have a lot of myself invested in. This is my home made, one of a kind, Clark Johnson type sound box.

Re: Show us your reproducer
Here is the only known Edison Diamond B reproducer that was “Idelia-ized” from the factory to still exist. It’s not mint visually due to the nature of zinc die cast materials and plating, but surprisingly has stayed dimensionally stable and has never needed remachining. Intergranular corrosion has not affected this reproducer yet!
It still performs beautifully in my Edison Idelia.
If another one does exist, please let it be known!

Here is the reproducer that was on the ICS amberola. I currently have the reproducer and the broken off neck of it in my deep freeze. How exactly do you take one of these off and I’m totally not sure what type of reproducer it is.

The Standard B I’m working on came with a reproducer from one of the dictation machines. not sure how this will work on a non dictation player?

Re: Show us your reproducer
Ok can anyone please tell me what this is off.
I have had it since I basically started collecting and still don’t know anymore about it.
I cannot see a name on it. Maybe the front panel relates to a brand or name.
That tube at the back of the reproducer must be a holder as it doesn’t go into the reproducer head just attached to the back of it.
Somewhere it’s probably common but for me I haven’t seen them around here. Well I do have another one but it has the holder tube cut off.
Any ideas.
