I recently purchased an Edison A100 phonograph, however the reproducer is broken. Does any one know if a reproducer from a c19 model will fit my A100?

The reproducer from a C 19 will fit, but the original reproducer from a C 19 was gold plated (or gunmetal if it's a very late one) and that of an A 100 is nickel plated. If you watch eBay, you'll soon find a nickel example.
Good luck!

By 'broken', what do you mean? Reproducers can be restored in many circumstances: some photos would give a better idea of its condition.

The diaphragm is broken ( cracked) all the way through and the linkage the needle is also broken.

The diaphragm is broken ( cracked) all the way through and the linkage the needle is also broken. You can get reproduction diaphragms, complete with link, plus gaskets, for much less than a new reproducer. You should check the stylus, though, with a high powered magnifier: if it is worn or chipped, you'll have to replace it. BillS |

Where can I find these parts? I have been looking on eBay. I would like to fix or replace as soon as possible.

For an excellent rebuild, I would recommend Steve Medved: he does great work.
