New Navy training phonograph model D-200

[OldRestorer]

I purchased this unit but someone rigged it with one of those old tin burger King ashtray's,

I want to rebuild it but dont know what to use. Does anyone sell the tin or copper diaphragms?
If not then can I use a Mica?

I know I can but a replacement reproducer online but I want to repair this one.

Thanks all,
Kirk

What you'd want is something like this:

I believe that one of the members of this forum had some for sale, awhile back, so you might want to post a wanted ad in the Yankee Trader forum.

You also might want to check with Great Lakes Phonographs -- http://www.victroladoctor.com/ -- to see if George has one in stock.

Now, why would you want to replace that diaphragm? So nicely crafted
