Hello Tim, Do you remember the serial numbers? I'll look into that and e-mail you separately.
Did you ever rebuild a diamond D with the extra lead weight still on it? I personally found it impossible to rebuild a D with the big weight attached. How much difference does the larger horn make? Well, so much is dependent on the cylinder you are playing. I never made a comparison test between an 80 and, say, a 75. Was the carriage different? The diamond D will not fit in a 30 50 75 carriage unless you install the reproducer and then attach the weight. That's an interesting question. My perception is that the carriage is identical. The D only "just" clears the record. And they have a tendency to swell, which could explain why you found it a problem to get into the carriage. I had one like that myself. But my impression is a "well-preserved" D will in fact fit a "regular" carriage. TF _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
