Trying to learn about my phonograph

[dan]

I found an Edison C-150 at a thrift store and picked it up, but it's missing the arm thing (I think it's the reproducer?).  I've tried to find sources for it, but haven't found anywhere that has them.  Is there a good source for replacement parts, specifically for the arm, and possibly adapters to play non-DD records?  Also, any good websites for tutorials/information on how to work it would be appreciated, I'm eager to learn how to get it up and running.  Thank you!

Hi: your best bet is to go to the Talking Machine Forum (TMF), and put a want ad in the "Yankee Trader" section. Original DD reproducers are not too hard to find, as well as lateral adapters: there are also folks like Steve Medved and Wyatt Markus, who can make sure that any reproducer you get will be professionally rebuilt to the highest standards.

Good luck, and tell 'em Lucius sent you. ;-)
