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.  How do you know if you need a new stylus?  Pick a Diamond disk
record that is reasonably shiny and let the reproducer play in the run out
area.  If you see a line scratching into the shiny flat surface, then the
diamond is bad and should be replaced.
