This article is from the Antique Radios And Phonographs FAQ, by Hank van Cleef vancleef@netcom with numerous contributions by others.

11 Can I get spares for restoring my Edison phonograph---for my Atwater Kent radio.

Parts 2 and 4 of this FAQ list suppliers of spares for phonos and
radios, respectively. In addition to spares support, there are
people who rebuild phonograph transducers and other subassemblies.
Availability of specific spares depends on several things. OEM spares
support for pre-1930's items was discontinued before WW-II, but in many
cases, items of new manufacture are available. In other cases, such as
the 6U5/6G5 tuning eye tube, commonly used from the '30's to the '50's,
your best bet is to substitute (and there is an adaptor for this
available).
