I've never seen this done before!

I've seen a lot of "jerry-rigged" reproducers before, but I have never seen a cylinder reproducer fixed like this.
Someone along the line replaced a broken sapphire with a steel needle!
I'm sure that they found it to be a little hard on their wax records, "ouch".
Just when you think you've seen it all, Cheers, Bob S.

I hope no attempt to play anything with that was made. I am just cringing at these photos.

I knew an old fellow many years ago who would put the ball from a ballpoint pen in place of the sapphire on Columbia reproducers, but never a steel needle. Oh my!
