Help us out here. In my mind anyway, a front mount Busy Bee reproducer and a front mount Standard reproducer are two fairly different things.

If it is the obscure Harmony/Aretino/Busy Bee reproducer, that thing is very elusive. I have been seeking one for a few years now... Every time one pops up on ebay, I miss it or the auction mysteriously ends early - at a high price, too :?

I'll gladly toss my info back out there in line behind this original poster if there are any sellers sitting on a stash of these. I prefer original, though.
