Can someone post a photo of their #2 reproducer showing the stylus and diaphragm side.
Thanks Brian

Can some explain what a Columbia #2 reproducer is so I know what one to photograph?

See page 274 of Columbia Phonograph Companion #1. There is a pic of one there, albeit the top side.

Thank you Django for your help. I believe this is a #4 reproducer with a bracket stylus holder and pin in the aluminium body. I think the #2 was fitted to the model AA Graphophone.

That reference came from Chuck Azzalina, but these reproducers are all specific to GRAND models. A #2 reproducer as used on more typical models such as the A, B, C, AT, etc. was shown by Django above.

Thanks guys for your help.
George: which reproducer would have been supplied with the AA? I am thinking that the one fitted to mine is not the correct one. (See my photos) The Coronavirus is meaning that I have to self isolate and gives me chance to work on my phonographs. Stay safe to all forum members.
