Adapting Model C (copy) reproducer to play brown cylinders

[Menophanes]

If I were to cut away the tail from the weight of a Model C reproducer just clear of the limit-pin, so that only the circular part remained, would the result be reasonably safe to use with brown-wax cylinders? Obviously I would never treat an Edison original in this way, but I have an oldish copy, not of the highest quality, which I would be prepared to use as an experiment – but only if there were a good chance that it would serve its intended purpose. I realise that nobody can do more than express an opinion on the probable outcome, but any such opinions would be valuable to me.

Thank you. I realise this makes me look rather foolish, since a question identical to mine was asked less than a week ago, but I could scarcely have spotted it tucked away in the middle of a thread whose title gave no clue to its contents!

Not foolish at all - information gets buried all the time.
