As of yet, Expert Stylus has been the only source for reproduction Diamond styli. Unfortunately, there have been some problems with their recent output (there's an entire thread here about that).

Suffice it to say, a NOS Edison stylus is always an ideal replacement.

The repro stylus bars seem to me to require some filing in order to fit the reproducer.
