Looking for a nice lateral reproducer like the one pictured to accessorize my A-150 Diamond Disc. I believe the one pictured is a Union but would also be interested in other brands.

I have two lateral reproducers for Diamond Discs. One is gold and the other is nickel but with an oxidized reproducer. The gold one has been repaired and is $55 and the nickel/oxidized one is $65. It's not exactly what you are looking for but it's the best I can do. Jerry Blais

I don't have one and I'm looking for one myself. But do you mean anodized instead of Oxidised?

I'm not sure of the process. Frow refers to it as "oxidized bronze" in his books.

Thanks Jerry. Your asking prices seem reasonable but I've good a good gold one and would like the oxidized for the 150. I've seen and passed on a few. Not an urgent need but would be a nice accessory.

The finish in Bruce's photo is definitely "oxidised". It was a popular metal finish around the turn of the century.

I have a Union nickle plated lateral adapter but it is not anodized.It came with the B 150 I bought from Jerry B.
