The Kimball that I own didn't come with an Orthophonic style reproducer.  In
fact the reproducer is connected to the tone arm with a rubber connector
that it presses into instead of latching into the arm like most Victrola
style machines.  I have a second reproducer for it and it is attached in the
same way.

Here is a link that shows some pictures of my example:

What kind of information are you looking for?  I own a Kimball machine
myself.  I can get you some photos of my machine if you'd like.

Here are a couple of links regarding this machine:
http://www.gracyk.com/makers.shtml    
This is Tim Gracyk's Phonographs, Singers and old records.  He references
the Kimball machine in this book: Kimball -- W. W. Kimball Company, Kimball
Building, Chicago, Illinois. May 1920. (Trademark filed 2/5/1918; used since
1/15/1918

http://www.arcade-museum.com/mtr/MTR-1923-76-8/MTR-1923-76-8-16.pdf   This
is an old newspaper in PDF form with a Kimball Phonograph ad in it.

Hi Gang, 
I have a very good friend and fellow collector(John Hoffman) who is looking
for an Orthophonic style reproducer for a Kimball Machine. It is a copy of a
Victrola Credenza. Any information and help will be greatly appreciated.
