Does anyone have a Gem recorder they can place on a table with the sound tube
on the table top and send me a photo of the profile? I am rebuilding a Gem
recorder and since I do not have a Gem that will help me to get the link length
correct.
Thanks,

I'd dearly love to have a working Gem but they always seem to go for stupid
money. Here's one, item 390679645174
that is lacking the case and reproducer (regular C?) am I missing any other
problems here?

That particular seller takes machines apart and sells the parts separately. I
am personally against parting out a working machine so I would not purchase it.
That being said, the motor has a few issues. In addition to those stated in

be interested in the serial number of the N reproducer and the machine. You can

The Model D Gems are not uncommon but one in perfect shape is scarce
have a space for the model

The drip pan Gem had 2 minor variants of Gem Automatic Reproducer. Both
were built into the carriage arm. One has a wide connector flange and the
other which has a machined modification to the carriage arm has a lesser

According to the Frow/Sefl book the early caseless Gem used the hollow key
with a slot that engaged a pin on the winding shaft of the mainspring.
BTW - does anyone have a spare oil pan bottom or start-stop governor speed

Hi Jerry ~
My Gem D is serial #338490 D. Does not appear to have black paint
under the body or the horn, which has original paint.

I hope all is well with you.
The Gem D's seem to range roughly from #315000 to #357000. Confusion arises
with the fact that Gem C's range roughly from #295000 to #35 because
these machines continued to be made for ICS while the D's were being made.
Toward the end,
