Jerry made me promise to post photos of the reproducer I bought from him after I repaired it. It's not totally done yet, but the part of it that made it a "project" is done.

The big hole that went all the way through was threaded. I epoxied a screw into the threaded hole. Would have soldered it, but didn't want to risk un-soldering everything else in the process. I trimmed both ends and filed them flush with the needle chuck. I then re-drilled the needle hole and then drilled & tapped the thumbscrew hole. Not shown here, but it's now painted flat black and the repair does not show.

Re: Project Reproducer That I Bought From Jerry B.
Thanks guys!
My shop is only partially moved from my old house. I feel a bit helpless without all my tools and machinery in one place. I don't go much to the old house since I'm renting it to my godson. With this damned virus going around, I don't feel great about going back there much. Anyway, the point is, it felt great to be able to accomplish something! Thanks for a project that fit my current resources Jerry!

Okay! Got it all done. The nickel plated front ring and diaphragm are from a donor Exhibition. There was zero nickel left on the front ring. The back plate was cleaned and treated with brass darkening solution. The lettering was touched up with a white crayon. I didn't have an early type thumbscrew or rubber isolator screws so later ones are used. All-in-all, I'm pleased with the result and it sounds very nice as well.
