What does the linkage on an "M" or "O" reproducer look like

Post by Chilesave »

I am wondering what the linkage looks like on an M or O reproducer. I bought an M reproducer several years ago that was missing the linkage so it could not be rebuilt.

I have never seen a picture of what the linkage should look like. I think it would help if someone has a picture that could be shared.

I want to be careful in the future to make sure it is not missing if I buy an M or O again.

This is an original Edison O reproducer link. Edison M reproducer link looks exactly the same but length is slightly different. All of the M reproducer links I have seen including the links on my own model M reproducers are spring loaded on the diaphragm end. Some Edison O reproducer links are found spring loaded on the diaphragm end and some are not.
