The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Beyond the obvious gaskets and mica diaphragm, it looks to me as if you are missing the body, some screws, and possibly more. There's no way to make a whole reproducer with what's pictured.

Does your setup look anything like this?

Yup. That looks like my setup exactly. I know I have seen the reproducer in a picture of someone's collection. It seems like it would be along the lines of the exhibition so I was pretty sure I was missing half the body and the mica at the very least. I bought the machine for $ 30 because the cabinet is so cool looking. the reproducer flange was broken so I grabbed those parts. I don't mind the hunt and I have a VV-X to work on when it gets frustrating. Ha
