Sounds like Gene Gogal in Canada, he is famous for his off eBay deals where he cheats people. I would use PayPal with a credit card, that way you have some protection. I sent Gene $110 cash and he happily took my money and never even thanked me, I saw on eBay that the buyer that supposedly

After one insulting message from the seller when I asked his if this was a reproduction (he initially refused to answer, telling me with exclamation points to read and reread his description), he admitted in a second e-mail that it was a reproduction, or "an original copy" as he so obtusely put it.

If you're thinking about a replacement onetry some poster board.  Use black or some other bland color and trace your old cone. I did this once and it works fine. Dennis ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org

Hi Matt, That machine uses a diamond reproducer--so you don't have to change any needles.  You will want to play ONLY Edison Diamond disc records on it.  If it turns out that it needs a diamond, they are kind of pricey.  I am sure there are people on this list that could set you up with one.

I'll second what Mike said and add that if you have the Diamond Disc reproducer you can get replacement styli and gaskets for the rebuild from George Vollema. How do you know if you need new gaskets? Blow gently into the open end of the reproducer. If it leaks air readily, you need new gaskets.
