My Vic #2 with a new diaphragm. I used a soft tone needle.

It sounds quite good, it would be nice to hear it playing an electrical recording. Have you adapted your Edison diaphragm to the Victor 2?

Thanks. I will upload an electric soon. The diaphragm has the same proportions as the DD, only shrunk down.

Excellent sound---well done. The diaphragm looks very interesting---can you tell us a bit about it please ?

The diaphragm is made of fiberglass resin impregnated rice paper. With a polystyrene stiffener. It is identical to the diaphragm I've made for standard Edison Disc reproducers, except the dimensions, including the stiffener, have been changed to accommodate the Vic #2 sound box. It's an idea I've been toying around with for a while, while developing a replacement diaphragm for Edison DD phonographs.
Thank you.

It sounds just great! If you ever make 'em for the Exhibition, I'd sure be interested!

Very nice. It sounds very good. And I'm in the same boat as Henry as I would also be interested in an Exhibition model.

Would you accept an order (orders) for diaphragms of specific diameters ? I should be very interested in "road testing" in an EMG or Expert reproducer.

I can do orders. What I would need are pictures and measurements. Shoot me an email, and we'll hammer out the details. Thanks for the interest.

An electric demo as promised.
