I checked out the Diamond Disk that has been the
subject of discussion and though to myself that I'd
seen something like that before. I dug out my bible
(first edition of Tinfoil to Stereo) and found a photo
on plate IX which shows a Diamond Disk equipped with a
"Loud Speaking Attachment". It is similar but not
exactly the same as the one on ebay. The ebay machine
shows a typical #11 cygnet horn and elbow used on the
Diamond Disk. The example in the book shows a Music
Master bell attached to a unique elbow which in turn
is attached to the machine. I don't know if the "Loud
Speaking Attachment" was ever offered to the public
but one machine was made. Does anyone know? Thanks,
Jerry B.

The ebay machine's horn looks like a sawed off front mount horn (look
at where it hangs on the support). Also the nice gold finish on the
horn support is exactly the same as the reproducer and looks to good
to be an expiremental machine. The decals on the horn are cheap
reproductions. My opinion is that it is a frankenphone.
