WANTED: Edison Model C Reproducer needle bar and stylus

Post by Morell1 »

APSCO used to sell these, but I can't seem to find anyone else who sells them. I have a Winged C reproducer that is beautiful in almost every respect. Unfortunately, the needle bar broke at some point in its long life, and someone cobbled it back together awkwardly, causing the stylus to stick out at a very eccentric angle. I'm loath to cannibalize another reproducer for the needle bar, though I may have no choice if needle bars aren't available on their own.

The least expensive way to do this...

Buy the stylus here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/277046021426

and I charge $10 for a good used model "C" stylus bar:

What a spectacular idea! I just bought the stylus, and I'll visit your website in a few minutes.

Thank you. As a long-time owner of cylinder and disc machines, I'm well aware of the difference--just mistyped in my haste. The distinction is important to those who want to to preserve their records.
