How would I get 2–4 minute gearing?

[Liamhamb30]

You could make a "Wanted" post on the trading forum. Or pick one up from Ebay and install it on the intermediate gears between the feedscrew and mandrel. Looks like this.

[Lucius1958]

Well, for a Model A Standard that's 2 minute only, a C reproducer is correct; but if you want to play 4 minute cylinders, then get the gearing and either a C and an H reproducer, or a K.

“Playback heads” are on tape recorders. The term you want is ‘reproducer’.

I have a Model K reproducer without the stylus if you find the gearing.

Model A was sometimes called the playback head, sound head, or soundbox.
