[Phono-L] Reproducer top wanted
Hello all Anybody got a decent top for a model O reproducer? Same top as used on models R and S. I am trying to improve on the O that I recently obtained, and the top has two chips in it. Thanks John ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org

Re: [Phono-L] Reproducer top wanted
The chips can be repaired, normally the chips are in the front and back where people tried to pry the reproducer out of the carriage. JB weld or a similar epoxy, I use steel putty, returns the top shape to round and a chrome paint makes it match a bit better. I use a large carriage broken in half courtesy of UPS to as a jig to fix the chips. You put Saran Wrap on the carriage so the epoxy will not stick to the carriage and put the Saran Wrap on the top of the epoxy to smooth the repair. This is something an average person can do, I am not that dexterous. With Swiss files you can match the rim on the late dome tops and smooth the area to match on the flat top. I am certain John could match the missing letters and sign his name on the side, but I am not that good. Ron Sitko is having new tops made, he estimates around $75 for each one. Some people do not realize the O N R and S all have the same top, the serial number is the only way you can ID the difference between the ON and the RS tops. The N-56 has RS serial numbers as the N-56 was made from RS tops when the RS were obsolete. The N-56 appeared around 70,000 in the ON serial numbers and around 31,000 in the RS serial numbers. An unscrupulous seller recently took an R top and this allowed him to sell a cobbled O for $750.00. I wonder how these money grubbers sleep, very well on their mattress stuffed with money I guess. Using micarta and a hammer frozen tops come out of the carriage easily and without damage. You want to remove the weight first and tap one side then the other seeing how far it moves each time by looking at the top of the top.
