Does anyone have a Gem recorder they can place on a table with the sound tube
on the table top and send me a photo of the profile? I am rebuilding a Gem
recorder and since I do not have a Gem that will help me to get the link length
correct.
Thanks,

I am personally against parting out a working machine so I would not

I'd dearly love to have a working Gem but they always seem to go for stupid
money. Here's one, item 390679645174
that is lacking the case and reproducer (regular C?) am I missing any other

Hi Steve:
The highest number Model N Reproducer in a Gem E that I know of is 67830. It
is a domed one with the large N on the fishtail weight.
Hope that helps...

I am trying to narrow down Model N serial numbers, if anone has a Gem E I would
be interested in the serial number of the N reproducer and the machine. You can
reply off list if you like. Hit reply and copy and paste my e-mail address.
Thanks, Steve The N was made for the Standard E and app
Is anyone interested in a true rarity? a Model B Gem masquerading as a Model

The Model D Gems are not uncommon but one in perfect shape is scarce at

Does anybody have a spare Gem "A" or "B" carriage rattling around the spare
parts bin?
I want to find one to use on my branded-case A, to temporarily allow it to use
a C reproducer rather than the weak early Gem reproducer when I feel like
having it sound better.
Let me know what you've got

Anyone got a Gem motor for a model D maroon Gem? A friend got the body and

The drip pan Gem had 2 minor variants of Gem Automatic Reproducer. Both
were built into the carriage arm. One has a wide connector flange and the
other which has a machined modification to the carriage arm has a lesser
diameter flange. The more narrow came first and the wider flange allowed
I recently added a Model D Gem to my collection and I
have a few questions about that model. It's quite
nice but on the few places where maroon paint is
missing, you see black paint underneath. There is no
doubt in my mind about the maroon paint being
original. It came with a maroon one piece M/
Hi Jerry ~
My Gem D is serial #338490 D. Does not appear to have black paint
under the body or the horn, which has original paint.
I find it very odd that there would be factory black paint under the
maroon on the horn especially, since (I've always assumed) the
somewhat iridescent quality
Greetings Jerry:
I hope all is well with you.
The Gem D's seem to range roughly from #315000 to #357000. Confusion arises
with the fact that Gem C's range roughly from #295000 to #35 because
these machines continued to be made for ICS while the D's were being made.
Toward the end,
I'm looking for a wood base for a Gem 1A first case version.
or dimensions ... and if it has rubber feet.

Hi,
Are all model A Gem lids the same size, will the branded case fit all model
A's? Will a model A Gem lid fit a model B? I know the base is a different
size for the model B. Do they attach to the base or the metal Gem itself? I
have never owned a Gem.
If you have a banner case Gem lid ho
The Gem A models (4 distinct variations) are all key wound and the lid
doesn't have the slot for the crank (the very first GEM is the drip pan
which had no case at all). The B model has a slot up the right side of
the lid so you don't have to remove the crank before putting the lid on.
There
According to the Frow/Sefl book the early caseless Gem used the hollow key
with a slot that engaged a pin on the winding shaft of the mainspring.
BTW - does anyone have a spare oil pan bottom or start-stop governor speed
arm (L shaped friction pad holder)?
Best wishes to all,
Al
I think the 1998 Gem has an electric ignition, doesn't it? ;-)
