Hi, Are all model A Gem lids the same size, will the branded case fit all model A's? Will a model A Gem lid fit a model B? I know the base is a different size for the model B. Do they attach to the base or the metal Gem itself? I have never owned a Gem.
If you have a banner case Gem lid how can you tell if it goes to a late model A or an early B?

Also consider that the whole recording industry went bust during the Depression, so if Edison records had been electrical a few years earlier, it couldn't have made much of a difference in the end (but, perhaps we'd have had 12inch, vertically-cut, long-playing Condensite records on our spring-powered Super Edisonic HI-FI systems in 1952. hehe ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Vuillemenot" <[email protected]> > Randy, > The problem is that all geniuses have big egos.
