Show us your reproducer
I started collecting phonographs and radios during Covid since there really wasn't anything to do. I quickly got to the limit my display room could handle and my wife stopped the collection from spilling out to the rest of the house. So now I started collecting reproducers from different countries. These are my best 4 reproducers I have so far. If you have some interesting reproducers please share.

Re: Show us your reproducer
They sound good right now and all of them will get a tune up by Wyatt Markus eventually. I have my eye on another one from Greece. Now I'm looking for some reproducers for my Columbia phonograph. If anyone has some pictures of something other than the normal stock ones let me know. I've looked everywhere and found nothing but the normal ones. I saw one for sale in this forum a long time ago I think it was a Nightingale reproducer.

I have one more for my Victrola 8-12, but it's nothing special. My perfection reproducer is intended for a diamond disk needle type adapter, but I don't have all the adapter parts. It works great as a substitute reproducer on my Sonora Invincible.

I have a couple of Sonora too but nothing special. That Crescent reproducer looks really nice! Thanks for sharing your collection.

The Perfection line also included reproducers designed to play vertical cut records on Victor machines; here's mine, which came with the original box and sales receipt:audiophile102 wrote: Wed May 31, 2023 9:30 am...My perfection reproducer is intended for a diamond disk needle type adapter, but I don't have all the adapter parts.

And here it is in action, affixed to a European machine whose tonearm happens to match the Victor design:

Re: Show us your reproducer
This is an odd Columbia reproducer that I found several years ago.
It says:
Pat. Pending
Concert-Tone
World’s Best Tone
Sounding Device
$3.50
INVENTED AND MADE
FOR SALE ONLY BY
HARRY H. THOMPSON
4032 TROOST AVE.
KANSAS CITY, MO.
I have never seen another one, although there may be more out there.
