Unusual(?) "Heavy Eagle" reproducer


Grammophon

Recommended Posts

The toothed securing ring of this "Heavy Eagle" reproducer looks unusual. The Columbia AB, serial number 752840, which came with it, bears the dealer tag of Otto Schleiffelder, Vienna, Austria: https://grammophon-platten.de/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?48051.last

 

What do you think of it?

You are right. It looks like a clamp ring from an Edison reproducer. Thank you very much. It seems to be a historical repair, which I leave in this condition. The Columbia AB came from a private owner who was no phonograph collector.

I agree that it seems to be a somewhat later repair but very interesting.  I also would leave as is.

Is the body of the reproducer threaded to accept the ring or is the threaded ring just pressed in?
