Keep your eyes open for Edison DD phonos at local auctions, and pay particular attention to ratty "Edison consoles." If you can find a "1-C," "2-C," "3-C," or "4-C," it will be factory equipped with LP equipment. I've found 2 of them this way - one for $5.00 (and that included both reproducers); the other for $90.00 (including both reproducers and a box of records including 9 LPs). They didn't appeal to the crowd - let's face it, they're not Edison's best-looking machines. You'll be the only one who knows what it is. The cabinet of one was in wretched condition, so I removed the LP assembly and installed it into a "C-250." I found the conversion to be quick and easy, but I agree with the posting describing the inherent drawbacks of the records. Stylus condition is critical, and so is hingeblock lubrication. Good luck!
