Model K stylus link

Post by kirtley2012 »

I’ve got a model K reproducer which has the stylus link unhooked, what I’m trying to figure out is, has the end of the link broken off?

I have another K, which may be an earlier one, as I think it has a brass body and the stylus link is a different shape than the one on the project reproducer, so is the reproducer I’m working on right and just different, or has it been broken off?

The linkage on all my C's, H's and my K all appear to be the same.
Your K pictured with the styli appears to have a bent linkage but I can't tell if it's the whole end bent at 90° or just the tale?
The other just showing the linkage appears to be maybe 1-2 mm short at the tale.
I tried taking px of some of mine but my phone camera is terrible when taking closeups, so it would have been useless posting them sorry.

My K stylus link is in the shape of an 'S', presumably allowing the stylus to rotate from 2 to 4 minute positions.

Being the shape of an "S" would make no difference because the éyelet mounted on the diaphragm, which the linkage is also attached to, rotates as the styli are rotated.
