I remember Karl Frick used to advertise something that he said stopped
reproducer theft. I always wondered what that was.

Neal Maken used to sell what he called a reproducer locking screw to prevent
theft. Same thing, I imagine. Good idea!

For the Edison Standard on display at our local museum, I used a very short
5-40 allen head set screw. This was placed in the carriage and tightened
down before the real reproducer set screw was put on. It is not likely a
thief would have an allen wrench of that size unless he reads this and comes
prepared. I always did this if I placed a machine on consignment, too. Never
lost a reproducer.

One of the antique malls I've been in does not leave reproducers attached
to any of the machines. If you want buy the phono, you have to ask one of
the attendants to fetch you the reproducer.

rent a stall to sell antique records & the occasional phonograph. All of

the "gun-metal" finish Diamond Disc Reproducer from an Edison Baby Console
Phonograph, the Diamond B Reproducer from an Edison Fireside Model B
Phonograph & a Victor No. 2 Soundbox from a Victrola 100. These were
shiny & all-original (except for gaskets in the No. 2) in excellent
condition & played extremely well, especially the Diamond B. A few months
ago a Victor No. 2 Soundbox (which I replaced) from the Victrola 100 & one
of its horn door knobs were stolenThe thief did not take two Gold-Plated
Diamond Disc Reproducers, one from an A-250 & the other from a C-250.
These were less shiny that what was stolen. (I understand that a Diamond
Disc Reproducer, a Columbia tone arm with

they turned up on "E-bay" or "Craigslist?"
