Puritan reproducer?

[Zenger]

Greetings, everyone. I'm looking for a reproducer for a Puritan phonograph, but I don't know what it's supposed to look like. I'm also not sure what may be missing from mine -- perhaps some kind of elbow? If anyone has a picture of the reproducer, or the elbow, or both, I'd be grateful if they would share it. (And if you have one you can spare, even better!)

Thanks!

There’s one on eBay, and I’m sure if you did an offer for $25 they’d accept.

Yes! That's what yours is missing, with that tridimensional Z elbow at the back. This is because the soundbox can be turned to play lateral or vertical recording 78s.

Thanks! That one is sold, and I don't believe it would have been correct for my machine, as it looked like it was gold-plated and my hardware is not. Also, that looked like an unbranded after-market upgrade, though of course I could be wrong. Was it definitely a Puritan? Or was there no such thing, and any reproducer with that Z-elbow would do?

That was the correct reproducer... You can either wait till another pops up on eBay, or reach out to one of the parts suppliers.

Puritan used generic sonic hardware (and motors).

Specifically UPC generic hardware. This same deign was used on Colonials, Paramounts, Uniteds and I believe a few late Vistas.
