Try Victrola Doctor. I got a reproduction Opera rod from him a few years ago. You will need to get it copper plated though. After that you can use an aging solution on it.

I’ve been buying the automatic stop rods from Don Gfell (Sights & Sounds of Edison on the web) for many years. He always seems to have them in stock. Wyatt Marcus (micamonster on the TMF) does superb oxidizing.

Thx for the tip. Just bought a cygnet wood bell hanger from Don.
I didn't know he made the stop rods.
