I never come across one nor saw one.

They are probably the least common finish but they do turn up. I've found a couple. The Edisonics turn up a little more frequently in gold wash.

Can someone tell me

What type DD reproducer this is?

The pictured one is an Edisonic. The dance reproducer comes apart just above the diaphragm with three screws. I've seen one gold one in the last 35 years but I haven't exactly been beating the bushes for one. They are all really hard on the records with that heavy weight I think.

Thank you! True , gold Edisonics or New standards are frequently around. What about gun metal or oxidized finish?

I have a gunmetal New Standard with the earlier square weight. I'm not aware of an oxidized Edisonic since the A150 was the only model that used an oxidized (standard) reproducer.

I have a gold Edisonic which is a factory Upgrade. I have the new Bruce Stylus in it and it does not show any obvious wear to the surface. The sound is very good.

Thought some of you might like to see a side by side comparison.

Thanks Valecnik Only had one Diamond Disk machine and the Edisonic is what came with it.

Is one more desirable then then the other??

Thanks! Is the weight on the left correct for Dance reproducer? It's more like New standard to me~
