Just wondering as I recently saved a basket-case Amberola 30. Oiled & cleaned the poor motor and it's running again, however, I am missing the reproducer.

Hi- You are looking for a Diamond C reproducer--- I've pictured two-- IF your gear cover has a hole in the top with a knurled adjusting screw for speed, then you should use a nickle plated reproducer-- If the gear cover has no hole in the top-- then the black one would be correct- They will both fit either model-- just wanted to share what the factory supplied reproducer would have been.
Hope this helps-- Let me know if you need one ans I do have a couple for sale.

How much would you want for each? They play 4-minute records correct?

There are several free articles on the APS website. You might find this one particularly helpful:

It starts with discs, then covers all common cylinder types and reproducers.
