Hi Al, Lee passed away January 28th, 2010. He was a great guy and able to do just about anything! He was also making reproduction parts for Bettini reproducers--the spider, etc. I was just about to order another set of "blued" bedplate screws, for Homes and Standards, when I found out he ha

Here is another issue I am dealing with again. Who has the best idea for freeing up a frozen bearing on an Edison Home Model D without messing up the mandrel, the mandrel shaft, gearing, etc.? I have asked this before, and have received all sorts of answers--from heating with a blow torch to

Hello Everyone, I have an Edison Eldridge Dictation Record cylinder. The ribbing inside is just as an ordinary blue amberol. My Ediphone Standard Practice Record cylinders all have smooth interior cores, and I'm guessing they came out in the later 1930's. They came out in teh late Edison bl

Hi Brad, The first cylinders that came out of Let Us Not Forget did not have the music at the end. Essentially it is a 4 minute blue amberol with about a 2 minute speech on it. The later released cylinders have the additional music track added. This is actually the more desirable of the cyl

Hi Matt, That machine uses a diamond reproducer--so you don't have to change any needles.  You will want to play ONLY Edison Diamond disc records on it.  If it turns out that it needs a diamond, they are kind of pricey.  I am sure there are people on this list that could set you up with one.
