The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I don't know what this seller is trying to pull here, but he's selling two different reproducers and listing them as the same one.
I sent him a message, and he said, "they are the same" ???
Scam I guess.

I sent him these pics of his own listing and he's calling this the same, one is pot metal and the other is stamped.

All of the pictures are of the same reproducer. One photo shows it with the stamped cover in place, the other shows it with the cover removed.

The stamped cover is a nice feature which helps keep stray needles out of your diaphragm. It's from the Orthophonic portables. I used to have a 1930 model which I traded the reproducer of for a Grafonola portable from England which I still have.

And I still have the soundbox on my hot rod 10-50! It was a great trade! Stray needles in your diaphragm sounds painful, though. My wife should be thankful that I was not into heroin, I guess.
