TRADE: Edison K reproducer for Edison C & H reproducers
I'm looking to trade my fine rebuilt Edison K reproducer for someone's rebuilt Edison C and H reproducers. I use this reproducer on a Standard D with a cygnet (slanted carriage) which I play every day, and I'm tired of going through a multi-step process whenever I want to switch from 2-minute to 4-minute or vice versa. (I do this several times a day.) As you can see, my K is in excellent condition; it also sounds great. I am seeking the same in a C and H. Bonus if your H still has the green dye on it. If you have what I'm looking for (no repros, please) and are interested in a trade, please PM me with pictures. Thanks!

Re: TRADE: Edison K reproducer for Edison C & H reproducers
Curious question: I have a K on my Home, and have not experienced too much inconvenience when switching between speeds. Wouldn't disconnecting the horn, removing the reproducer, selecting another, installing it, and reconnecting the horn, take more steps than removing the horn, switching the styli, and reconnecting the horn?

Re: TRADE: Edison K reproducer for Edison C & H reproducers
I seriously doubt that anyone's going to want to swap 2 rebuilt reproducers of a higher combined value, for 1 rebuilt reproducer of lesser value, without some sort of cash adjustment involved. That's provided reproducers values haven't dramatically changed in recent years?
You may increase your chances perhaps by offering the rebuilt Model K in exchange for 2 not yet rebuilt reproducers?
But personally, I think if I disliked swinging the styli around on the K that much, I'd simply leave it in 2 minute mode and buy a seperate Model H for 4 minute records, eliminating the need to swivel the stylus on the K.
