I think you're probably aware that the reproducer (head stylus)
alone would be almost useless to you by itself.
This is very helpful historical perspective, Al. Thank you!

Hello Al,
I have always believed that the reducer adapter rings were made for the
recorder and I wanted to take the opportunity to see if I was correct. They
also came with the amberol kits that Edison offered in 1919 to amberolize the
standards, homes and triumphs. These kit consisted

Andy that alll makes perfect sense. Unless your intent is to put that
reproducer up for sale, as well as the records, then you should go back and
grab
That machine as well. Without it, what good are the reproducer and the records

Accordin to Frow they were introduced in 1922. They were sold along with the
Edisonics and not further mentioned. Not to bore anybody again with this
story but I bought one of the London Uprights that had never been uncrated.
Fortunately, it had a nice new Edisonic reproducer just waiting for
I think it must have been converted to run on gas. The filler hole is
where the crank is missing. I love it when they put the grill in upside

Hi,
How do I know what type of reproducer I have?
And what is the deal with the Edisonic??

Thanks Steve:
I had totally forgotten about the late conversion kits. It would be
interesting for a collector with all of those adapter rings to take a

Hi Bruce,
No I did not intend to try to jury-rig the reproducer to anything else. My idea
was that the reproducer does work, and from experience with the cylinder
Edisons, realize that reproducers are of value...since they seem to fall apart.

However, now I've found that some of the brown

Now, to get behind the records area...how does one do that? The top on that
side does not come up. Only the grill area opens from the front. I stuck my
fingers into the slots and they seemed empty. Fortunately nothing

Hi Andy,
Great insight on the stylus as a possible cause for damage...thanks
I see a shiney smooth point in the diamond area...overall, kind of triangular

HOWEVER, what I did notice (forgive me for not knowing proper terms): the

NEVER use water on DD. Use denatured alcohol. Even rubbing alcohol has water
in it.Also, make sure the reproducer is properly oiled at the rear bearing.

The Wooden handle sits over a metal lever, so even if the wooden handle got
separated and lost over the years you should be able to operate the lever to
lift and position the tone arm and reproducer with what is left.

At first glance I would say it is typical common Edison artists and no killers
there. However, I am not familiar with the California Entertainers. Does anyone
know if that is a pseudonym for a famous jazz band of from that era ? I don't
recognize that name as a pseudonym used by the California
