Hello Curt, I have replied off list with photos. This reproducer was made to
play the 2 minute celluloid records the Indestructible company made. All the
ones I have seen have an aluminum stylus bar with a two minute stylus. I am
not sure when they were made but I have seen them sell from $99 to $231. They
are not commonly found, the earliest serial number I have seen is 37, the
highest is 4663. I assume the weight weighs around 1.2 ounces and has the
spring to increase volume. The last lead allow weight Model B reproducer has a
2.2 ounce weight and is a bit louder than the 1.2 to 1.3 ounce weight Model C.
I hope my reply will encourage more participation. Steve
