Enquiry - Dave Brunton

Good day,

I have recently enquired via a company in America about the purchase of a reproducer for an Edison Gem Model D that I have been given by my Father, they pointed me in your direction.
The problem lies in the fact that it at some point in its life it suffered a break off of the section that accepts the horn. The mend is a total mess, which has recently broke off again, this time I have managed to use a glue to fix it. I wonder if you could point me in the right direction for, hopefully a purchase of the said item.
The reproducer is a K combination, and hopefully I can achieve the same. I am looking forward to learning a lot more about these wonderful pieces of historical engineering, my passion lies in music, all types.

Regards Dave Brunton.

Hello. I've sourced a few reproducers. Very high quality ones can be bought, via ebay, from croakinfrog. Drop him a line... he's very friendly and helpful. Obviously, as a result of the fall of sterling, plus carriage, plus customs... it can be a bit pricey. But he is an expert. Best wishes and good luck.
