Description: If you have an Antique Edison Diamond Disc Phonograph Record Player ("Victrola" as some call them, just because most are a floor model machine) which came with the Diamond needle stylus that only plays the thick Edison Diamond Disc Records (1/4" thick), This JEWEL Brand Playing Head (Reproducer) is designed to be used in place of the Edison Factory One, so that you can then use regular steel needles and play the regular 78 RPM records that were made for many years after Edison stopped making his records (1929 was the last year for Edison Diamond Disc Records), so it makes your machine much more versatile and allows you to play both kinds of records, using the proper one for each type of record. This reproducer comes with the original box (one edge is split open on the box cover). I sanded down the neck of this reproducer so that it will easily slide into the horn neck of your Edison Phonograph. Changing the reproducer on your machine is quite simple. On the neck of the horn, where the original Edison reproducer is mounted, there is a knurled metal ring that you can rotate counter-clockwise and then pull out the Edison one and put this one in it's place and turn the ring back clockwise to lock it into place. This reproducer comes with a package of 100 new steel needles for playing 78 RPM records. Most folks change them after each play of a record (for best results and to limit wear to the record). The needles are easy to change by just unscrewing the thumbscrew that holds it in, insert a new needles and tighten up the thumbscrew again. Easy peasy! New steel needles are still being made and readily available for sale on eBay on any given day. This Reproducer Works Very Well! This particular brand reproducer is actually even More Versatile than some, in that it is designed to also allow you to rotate the reproducer facing you and replace the steel needle with a Pathe' sapphire to play Vertical Cut Pathe' Records (with the Red Rooster on them). A Pathe' sapphire needle is not included with this reproducer.
