[Phono-L] Anyone got top housing of a Diamond B?
Hello all I am looking for a good top housing of a Diamond B reproducer. I have one that is swollen to the point where the diaphragm retaining ring falls to the bottom of the housing and will not engage threads. I didn't know when I got it that the ring was held in because it was wrapped with Scotch tape and jammed into the housing. Leads appreciated. John Robles ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org

As a rescue method, maybe you could wrap the ring with teflon plumber's tape a couple of times. Once in place, excess tape could be trimmed off.

Hi Ron I tried that but it would take a lot of tape. The opening is swelled up too much.

Looks like it is time to make friends with a machinist who can make a ring out of brass or aluminum for you. 8-) Ron L -Original Message- From: phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org [mailto:phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org] On Behalf Of John Robles Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2013 10:44 AM To: Antique Phonograph List Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Anyone got top housing of a Diamond B?
