Does anyone on this list know the specifications for the diamond point for
the Edison diamond disk reproducers? Is this something that a jeweler could
set? I have heard some pretty high prices for stylus bar repairs and was
just wondering if a repair could be done at a local jeweler.
Thanks,
Possibly a 150?

Dear Members: I have a Columbia
A new one is $80 to $100 on a new stylus bar, last time I checked - might have
gone up a little since then. You can probably get one from Ron Sitko. If a
jeweler could set one it would probably cost that much or more and if your
diamond fell out and you have it, it may have been damaged...
Ron: Should I send you a picture?

Dear Members: I have a Columbia floor model phonograph that I cannot
identify. It has short legs, two doors in front with 4- pivot out record
wooden boxes with knobs, a drawer under the record boxes, and two horizontal
slats for the volume control. Also unusual is that the motorboard under the

Thanks for the response. I saw those kind of prices out there. I was
considering checking with a local jeweler if I could find the specifications
of the actual diamond point. The repair cost seems rather high in
comparison of the whole reproducer.
Thanks,

I went through that whole thing with a DD player I had. I actually thought it
would be better to buy an entire reproducer, because of the cost... but I
bought it on eBay - it had a diamond, but it was bad - it played, but tore up
records. It took buying three to get one decent one. There is no
If you buy a reproducer you can count on the diamond being bad, 2 and only 2 of
the Diamond ABC reproducers I have rebuilt have had good diamonds, the rest
were worn or damaged. I purchased an Edisonic on eBay with a good diamond and
recently I did a Dance and and Edisonic for a man and both
For those that have not noticed it being done. The standard dealer test
of the condition of the DD diamond stylus is to run their dirty thumb
over it and if it feels like there is a point on it they pronounce it
good. So, plan on buying a replacement bar or trashing the records. If
you happen
Another way to test is to run your finger nail over the point. If the point
scratched the finger nail, the point is bad. Use light pressure.

Does anyone on this list
The easy test is to let the diamond run on a shiny area of run-out at the
end of a record. If you see a scratched band, the diamond is worn/damaged.
It is a good idea to test this on a couple of different disks because I had
one DD that showed the line even with a new stylus and when no other
It might help, Bill, but the Columbia book is only drawings. Dimensions in
addition will be helpful.
