It's a bit tricky, but not so difficult as it may łook... In our soundboxes we're used to deal with those tiny screws... To file the point of a stylus attached to its bar and support, and very very kindly is not so difficult. To attach the small screw of the diaphragm centre is much more difficult! 
I feel I'm stealing the thread, sorry...

You might check with Don Wilson (doninphilly on this forum), to see whether any of those Berliners are titles he would be interested in copying; then you would get a resin copy, which you can play on vintage equipment, along with the returned original.Dischoard wrote: Fri Feb 26, 2021 8:03 am
This brings me to my question. My dream since high school when I first picked up an old oak box full of 25 E. Berliner's Gramophone records was to find the proper machine to play them on.

As it is, I think I'll have to repost, nobody's been jumping in with a Victor III project

I couldn't, for the life of me, find anyone with that username. Could he have changed it?Lucius1958 wrote: Sat Feb 27, 2021 9:21 pm
