I have a "real" Edison that almost caused a divorce between my Grandparents as Grandma bought via the devil....ON CREDIT! (oh horrors) Apparently Grandpa had a royal fit and went down to J.L. Hudsons the next morning and paid if off. I have four drawers full of disks and want to move them to digital without harming them. Any guidance? I see there is a stylus marketed for this purpose, any experience??

They are ruined by playing on a Victor or other player with a steel "needle". One of my Edison records was recorded by Thomas himself, a plea for War Bonds during WW1. Please save the "thick" ones for a real Edison machine.
