You may already be aware of this but in case not, be careful of those dance reproducers. They are a bit finicky. The larger, heavier limit pin has a lot less freedom of movement. To play properly the horn needs to be lowered an extra 16th of an inch or so or something extra, (an extra new turntable felt works great)needs to be put under the record to raise it up.
Also very slightly warped records can cause the limit pin to hit against the reproducer shell as it rotates or towards the beginning and end of the record causing damage to your stylus and/or the record. A pressing stamped slightly out of round can cause the limit pin to hit the loop once every revolution causing skipping or similar damage as described above.
The standard reproducer is much more tolerant of slightly defective records.
