The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Here are a couple items that I have up for sale. I had these up a while back and sold them. The buyer returned them because the adapters were reproduction and had the wrong screws. The screws work good. Just look new. I will try again. If you are looking for a cheap alternative to buying a long throat Exhibition reproducer these work great. THEY ARE REPRODUCTION. The Exhibition reproducer is original. Look at the pics. The first to PM me sold gets them. Buyer pays 9.00 shipping.

1. Original Exhibition reproducer with REPRODUCTION long throat adapter. 75.00

2. 2 REPRODUCTION long throat adapters.25.00 each

To age the screws, use Birchwood Casey Super Blue (cold liquid gun bluing) available at WalMart, or alternatively hold the screws with vice grips - heat them to red hot with a torch and immediately drop them into a container of regular motor oil...

Although to be authentic, you should use "Round Head" slotted machine screws, NOT "Pan Head" slotted machine screws... Pan Head screws look too modern for a reproducer, for what it's worth...
