Good afternoon everyone. I have an Edison model R reproducer with a worn stylus. Does anyone on the group know where I can get a new one?
Do the stylus for the reproducers on cylinder phonographs install the same way that stylus for DD reproducers do? I am feeling brave and thought that I might try to replace it myself. Thank you.

Did they get anything nice? keith From Gpaul2000 Mon Apr 19 11:45:18 2004 From: Gpaul2000 (gpaul2...@aol.com) Date: Sun Dec 24 13:10:39 2006 Subject: [Phono-L] Claymont Show?

I bought a decent "A-80" (with no reproducer) out of the back of a guy's car in the parking lot for $125.00. The interesting part is that it has a METAL grille. I've never heard of such a thing, and was suspicious, but it's real. The downside was that it was missing its brake and speed control knob. An hour later in the show, a junky "B-80" turned up (cabinet missing 1/2 its veneer) missing reproducer and crank but otherwise complete (with brake and speed control knob) and running - for 20 bucks. What are the chances? I found a couple of neat paper items, and another part I needed for a machine back home. Good show for me...!

A friend of mine restored a Diamond Disc machine that was all inlaid and gold plated. He put Semi-Gloss Deft on the parts and it turned out just what he was looking for. Hope this helps.

Maybe that would matte it enough. A coat of amber shellac will also mute the shine a bit.
