Hello folks! I have a Columbia AZ cylinder phonograph that I'd like to get fixed up to play. Unfortunately, it is missing its Lyre reproducer. Does anyone out there have a spare one that I can purchase? Thanks

That would be a 'Lyric' spring-contact reproducer. It fits into a lyre carriage.

That is a hard one to find- the AZ took a reproducer made for that model only. I am in the same situation. The body of an Edison reproducer will fit perfectly & I'm thinking of attaching a stylus & a light weight to an Edison recorder body. A C reproducer will play very nicely but the weight gets in the way when you lift it.
