Phono folk:
I am having difficulty in finding a reproducer for a Columbia VIVA-TONAL suitcase machine which I think came out in the late teens . the reproducer is "cast" and the portion recessed in the tone arm, was swollen & froze, subsequently broke / crumbled when being removed. Does anyone have one which is workable, or at least salvageable for parts which I may be able to use to assemble a usable reproducer? I did consult with George & Duane with no luck. I did find a Kimble reproducer which fits the recess however, the diameter of the reproducer is to large and when resting in the cradle, the lid will not close. The diameter of the reproducer needs to be 2 7/16 or less to work. Tight tolerances with this compact machine. I really would like to find a workable replacement.
