I am new to the antique phonographs as I recently acquired an Edison C-250.
I have seen many reproducers on E-bay and was wondering what the difference was between different models? Which ones would fit my C-250?
I have the Duncan electrical brake
Thanks for everyones help

You'll need to find a gold plated "standard" type reproducer (as opposed to a dance or Edisonic).
I've never owned a duncan stop model, but from what I understand, you'll need to find one with a hole in the rear swivel where the weight attaches (for the wire to plug into).
From memory, I think they also had a slightly different limit loop at the front, designed to have a rubber tubing cover at the bottom to stop the circuit completing when the reproducer is lifted from the record.
Perhaps someone who owns one could post a picture of both parts so you know what to look for.

This is a reproducer that used the duncan stop. I purchased it not realizing it was one. The little hole in the rear pivot plate is where the wire connected. I don't see anything different about the limit loop, other than its a bit deeper sloped than some. If it had rubber its long gone. It also used three screws in the rear pivot plate rather than a pin and two screws. There is a small piece of what I would guess is insulated material between the pivot block and the weight attachment, sort of sandwiched in to stop electrical current from circumventing the loop. I am not an expert at these by any means. Frankly I would love to replace it with a matching gold reproducer with good needle such as this one has since I change out diaphragms a lot and its harder to disassemble than the later styles.
