I just came across a Victor XVI that needs some love. Looking for a gold
exhibition reproducer, the u-tube, or goose neck in gold, a crank, and 4
casters.

This is a model/type H made from 1913 to 1917.

Contact me off line if you wish: jeff...@prevea.com

Thanks,

Subject: [Phono-L] Edison Profitability

Was searching through some of the Doc's the park service has published
of
the Edison site and found a few interesting comments among them in
memo's
and wondered if it was really true..

Arthur Walsh comments near the end that Disc Records were "always a
looser" as far as he could tell in terms of money and then provides data
from accounting showing that indeed from 1925- they lost around the tune
of 1.7MM. Is that really true - even when sales were brisk in 1918-22
that
Diamond Discs lost Edison money? Or is that not the whole picture..

Also interesting was a comment that Blue Amberol Cylinders had lost
money
since 1927 and the implication is that while small in sales it was
profitable to make Blue Amberol records up until very close to the end
of
the Phonograph division.

Bill
