Standard X disc machine reproducer and escutcheon questions

Post by barnettrp21122 »

Hello:
The reproducer on my Standard X appears to be one-piece, and so I figure the white gasket tubing is simply pressed into the rim around the diaphragm-correct? Is it the same tubing underneath as in an Exhibition?
Also my machine has no crank escutcheon. Would it have come with one? Thanks!

The tubing for these one piece Columbia reproducers is actually a larger diameter than the exhibition type. Ron Sitko carries it. You are correct in assuming that it just gets pressed in.

These Standards never came with a crank escutcheon. To have one will be incorrect.

Thanks, guys, for the quick informed responses! Good to know I won't need an escutcheon.
