Here is a very cool item that will dress up your early Edison, Columbia, Amet etc. machine. This is a set of listening tubes with an original volume control attachment. They have new, hand-made rubber tubes that are as close as you will ever find to the original. As well, the "Y" and ear pieces are exact duplicates of the original. The tubes have internal wires as the original would as well.
The volume control connector at the end of the tubing that fits on to the reproducer is 100% original. This one is early, being made specifically for listening tubes. Sound can be muffled by shifting the lever left or right. There is a small “s” on the tang jutting out the front side of the volume control. This represents “Shut.” There is a corresponding “o” on the other side representing “Open.” This is an awesome addition to these tubes as you can control the volume of the record you are listening to with the tubes. Not found often, this volume control is a neat find. I have a couple of these sets. They are available on a first come, first serve basis and I expect they will go fast. They really add interest to your cylinder machine. I can provide pictures to those who have serious interest. The price is $85.00 each. Shipping additional. No PayPal, but checks are fine.
