Later style replacement reproducer probably 50s or early 60s. It was ruined inside and I replaced the aluminum diaphragm with one from an exhibition and fiddle with the gaskets a little bit
That’s quite the interesting aftermarket reproducer. I mean, I like the way it looks, and with your rebuild it sounds pretty good in my opinion. Nice job!
Hi, I'm the owner and interestingly enough 3 out of 7 off market players I own have the same reproducer on all of them, so they must be pretty common for later brands.
@@Looney3987 this type of reproducer is sort of a generic sort that was common in the 1940s and 50s up until the end of these types of machines being used in the 1960s. Its design is very basic and its major flaw is its weight. it is heavier than any reproducer used on any Victor machine before 1930 and this is not good for your records. It is, however pretty much the only type of reproducer you will find in the later years and the one most commonly available today inexpensively. This is not the heaviest of them all I do have one that is heavier and larger, needless to say, I am not using that one to play records. sometimes they will have designs on the chrome cover like musical notes or maybe RCA stuff like that. I forget what company made these, but it was not one of the big names, but it did provide parts to them.
