Hi Bob, My Edison DD console has these buttons -- they refer to size in inches of records played. They're very simple spring-loaded buttons that put an obstruction in the path of the tonearm at points 5" or 6" from the spindle, giving the user a reliable way to position the tonearm at exactly the start of a record without having to look carefully or pay much attention to what they're doing. It really works; I wouldn't have thought it would be all that necessary, but it certainly does make it easier to start a record. My only question is, who has any 12" Diamond Discs?? Maybe a few Dealer records, right? Anyone know?

It had a feature That I hadn't seen before. At the left of the works, between the platter and bedplate were 2 buttons that had a "10" and the other had a "12" on it. I presume it has something to do with the speed or size of record to be played. Any information and response explaining this feature would be appreciated. thanks in advance Bob _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list [email protected] Phono-L Archive http://www.oldcrank.org/pipermail/phono-l/
