Happy Tom Edison's Birthday to all. I have a Columbia Type N Graphophone in very nice mechanical condition, but have a problem. When the #2 reproducer is lowered to playing position, the stylus does not quite contact the cylinder surface on any cylinder I have tried. The reproducer support tube is moving properly. Has anyone else seen this with a Type N, and if so what is the solution? I know the N was originally supplied with the #1 gutta percha reproducer ( which I don't have!), and wonder if it was thicker than a #2. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

There are still pictures of the N at: http://web.mac.com/jn45224/iWeb/Site/Library.html I don't know enough about Columbias to know what kind of reproducer is shown in the photos. But I believe it worked OK.
