You know what the worst thing is about this? He is from Orange County, which is

Hello all
I have a Diamond B reproducer with a curious problem. I went to rebuild it, and
when I tried to unscrew the diaphragm retaining ring, it turned but did not
want to come out. Finally I eased it out by unscrewing while working a small
screwdriver blade under it to help push it outward.
Normally the Diamond B does not expand that much unless it was stored where
temperatures varied over the years like an unheated attic where it got very
cold in the winter and very hot in the summer. Pot metal reproducer on
Vancouver Island in the Victoria area remain pristine due to the
I have had that happen as well, I think many of us have. You kept driving by
the antique shop and something was trying to entice you in, but you didn't act
on it, and then you found out something really special was there, but someone
else ended up with it because you didn't stop when you should

Steve, the diameter of both the Diamond B and Diamond C compressions rings is
1.66. The inside diameter of the Diamond C body is 1.66. The inner diameter of
the Diamond B body ranges up to1.6730, and is slightly inconsistent in
circumference. So there is obvious enlargement there.

From my own experience, stopping in antique shops can be more depressing than
fruitful. In fact, I've pretty much given up, otherwise I'd have to take
mega-doses of anti-depressants. The last time I actually found something in
an antique shop was years, possibly decades ago. Of course, there

anymore. Used to be cheap!
The best things I found in shops were a gold Exhibition and a Columbia

Well, I don't really swear by stopping in shops. I usually swear as I'm

It's a brass ring, right? I wonder if you could slit the ring and soft
solder in a spacer that is either just shy of the threads or filed to match
the threads?

Hello John,
Your measurement was correct, sometimes they measure differently in different
places. There are several different styles of the rings, some are oxidized,
some are nickel plated. Some have two holes, some four. Some have two slots,
some are made like the common CHK rings which

Excellent idea, I would lack the skill and equipment to do it, no wonder that

I have thought about a giant tap for the ones that have shrunk, do you know the
size?

I don't know if there are taps that size. My guess is that a large rod was
threaded by cutting the threads in a lathe and then the rod was sliced to
make the rings. The interior threads may have been lathe cut as well.

If it is a zinc die casting they were cast. The retaining rings were
probably machined.
