Reproducer question

Post by doctor t »

If a reproducer looks like this, do I just need a needle, or the problem deeper?

You don't show the side with the stylus & bar, but the wire link seems to be hooked to something, so you probably don't need the stylus bar. You're missing the limit pin, which is probably why the link has been bent and pulled out. This possibly damaged the diaphragm, but again the photo does not show this.

This reproducer is a candidate for a re-build. I would have Steve Medved repair this. He is very meticulous and reasonable. There are discussions about Steve along with his info in this Forum.
