A very scarce Eldridge R. Johnson Exhibition long throat reproducer. It has the longer throat for use on the horizontal tone arms.

Yes, the diaphragm is metallic. Jerry B.That Mobley is very curious... Is the diaphragm metallic?

Wow I honestly never knew just how many types of reproducers were out there. Some of what you guys have deserves to be in a museum. Incredible

It's unwise use of pot metal for the plunger has ensured that few survive in working order.

Re: Show us your reproducer
Standard steel needles are too long to fit into the magazine. I suspect that the manufacturers realised that owners might try to save money by refilling the magazines themselves, and made it impossible for them to do so.gunnarthefeisty wrote: Fri Jun 02, 2023 5:30 amCan the magazines be refilled?epigramophone wrote: Thu Jun 01, 2023 9:32 am The Automatic Soundbox is a good example of a device which did what few people wanted done.

Re: Show us your reproducer
Here is a reproducer I have had for over 50 years. I’ve never encountered another quite like it. It’s to my eye somewhere between an Exhibition and a Victrola No2 and while similar in ways to the Improved Concert different from that too. Last patent is 1913. Anyone else have one or have information about it I would really appreciate hearing!
