Does anyone know if a adapter was ever made to use a different sound head on an eprad sword? I picked up two swords in great condition with reels but do not want to used the eprad sound head that came with them. I have an rca 1040 with a super simplex I would like to use with the sword. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

They did have adapters but would now be almost impossible to find
I ended up building them myself years ago

Check with Louis at Hadden Theatre Supply in Louisville, KY.
He used to have a lot of sword parts, probably still does.

Maybe Louis will reply to this post here.
