The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Are the Bruce Diamond diamonds still being made? I saw an old post where it was only $80 for the diamond + installation.

$80??
I thought they were twice that price.

This WAS a post from 2015 or so.

The new stylus is the Gilmore stylus. Contact Wyatt Markus (‘micamonster’ on this forum).

I believe they are actually made to the exact original specifications that Edison used, and they are a better quality diamond than those used for the British made reproductions.

Not necessarily an “improvement”, but more consistent in quality and more readily available.
