Steven Medved in Florida is the guy to send your reproducer to. I had him rebuild my lyric and he was not only reasonable, he did a fantastic job. I love my BF... I'm sure you will too.

Thanks!

I already sent the reproducer to APSCO, though…

Well, mine isn't a 2/4 minute machine, so I doubt the reproducer would be the same…

A couple of photos of the reproducer: I find it identical with at least one other posted in the forum:

The diaphragm is stepped mica: was this ever used on Dictaphones?

BTW: the bent pin was some previous owner's attempt at a stylus - of course I removed it before sending it off...

Great, you obviously have it all figured out, it should work perfectly now.
