The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Y'all were so helpful with getting my Edison Standard “D” running well I though I might beg a little assistance with getting my Edison Home Phonograph up and running.

The phonograph itself runs well but the reproducer probably needs a new stylus; I've attached a photo of the reproducer, showing the stylus and it appears to me that either the stylus is worn beyond all help or it's missing entirely. If I get agreement then maybe someone will suggest where I might get it repaired?

Thanks in advance for your help; you guys are the best !!

It will take a super closeup photo using a tripod and good lighting to be of any help. Your photo is not clear enough to see the stylus.

Better close-up.

That stylus looks fine.

Ok, thanks. Let me fiddle with this phonograph a bit more and maybe I’ll have some follow up questions.

What makes you think you may need a new stylus? In what way it the sound not right? I agree with George, that the stylus looks okay.
