C200 question reproducer question

[retired22]

Hi all,

Newbie owner and just signed on to join this group .I have a question regarding my newly acquired EDD C200 Yr 1913. It came with a 78 rpm reproducer sounds good. I was wondering since it is made to switch over to a Diamond disc reproducer. Does anybody know what reproducer I might need so I can play diamond discs. I saw different types & looks like letters were used as a type. I will post a picture later today if needed.
                                                                                                                       Thank you Larry

Any standard DD reproducer will do. There are a few variants: special finishes, found on a few models; later 'Dance' and 'Edisonic' reproducers, sometimes used as upgrades; and the rare 'Long Play', which needed special gearing. On the whole, any 'regular' DD reproducer is fine (for a C200, you'll probably want a nickel finish, rather than gold).

Incidentally, the C200 probably dates to 1915 or later: DDs from 1913 would most probably have been 'A' series...
