The Kimball that I own didn't come with an Orthophonic style reproducer. In fact the reproducer is connected to the tone arm with a rubber connector that it presses into instead of latching into the arm like most Victrola style machines. I have a second reproducer for it and it is attached in the same way.
Here is a link that shows some pictures of my example: http://cid-83f0a6af3a1d66ec.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Kimball%20Phonogra ph%5E6?authkey=h6g!0QlxMvA%24 -----Original Message----- From: phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org [mailto:phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org] On Behalf Of Tom Jordan Sent: Saturday, February 06, 2010 3:39 PM To: 'Antique Phonograph List' Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Kimball Orthophonic Style Phonograph What kind of information are you looking for? I own a Kimball machine myself. I can get you some photos of my machine if you'd like. Here are a couple of links regarding this machine: http://www.gracyk.com/makers.shtml This is Tim Gracyk's Phonographs, Singers and old records.
