I'd only replace the diaphragm if it showed visible signs of damage/warping. But definitely the gaskets would need replacing.

I'll bet the link between stylus and diaphragm is broken too if the unit is in two pieces.

Reproducer needs repair (it's in two pieces), cabinet needs refinishing or at east spiffing up, and grille needs to be replaced (I've sourced that already), motor needs cleaning and lubrication. She wants to sell it though, so I don't think she wants to lay out too much money. I recommended she clean the cabinet and use a beeswax polish to bring out the color, and get the reproducer fixed. I am guessing the tail spring needs replacing as the weight is separated from the top housing. She is located in Newport.
