Our historical society has been given and Edison S 19 Victrola. I believe the reproducer needs a new needle or possibly total replacement. Any ideas on where to get parts?

I highly recommend Wyatt Markus for reproducer rebuilding; he can do a total renovation, with new stylus, gaskets, and diaphragm.
The motor should also be thoroughly cleaned and re-lubricated; if you have any staffers who are mechanically inclined, that should not be too difficult. The only part which may be a challenge is cleaning and re-greasing the mainspring; but if the motor is still running quietly, you can simply shoot some moly grease into the the port covered by the wide headed screw on the spring barrel.
Best of luck with your acquisition!
