[Phono-L] Columbia no. 5 reproducer repair for Columbia AO

[Zonophone2006 at aol.com]

hi ray
you are right
a ball stylus might work like for pathes
its a neat reproducer and very much like a disc machine one
but the kit you buy you need to make sure you have the sliding mount to put  
it on
the tube where the horn goes is a bit bigger too so you have to adapt the  
horn a bit
good luck to all the searches for it

That's  too bad, Zono, as the proper stylus may be tough to find.  The kit to 
 
convert an AO to an AO/AW was made available by Columbia, but I don't  recall
seeing one for sale.  The #8 reproducer is rare and was used  only on the 
AO/AW and the AW (other than the MG which we don't have to  talk about as few 
if any exist).  I guess one reason to convert the  AO, assuming the kit could 
be found, would be to have a much rarer machine  with an unusual reproducer.
