Mesdames or Gentlemen:
I just bought an early mahogany Edison C-250 Diamond Disc Phonograph with
pentagonal "Official Laboratory Model" medallion, reproducer
with stylus holder screwed to weight & green felt covered mute ball. It is
missing its original grille cloth & the silk link in the reproducer is
broken & the diamond stylus may be missing or damaged. What color & type
material would have been used for the original grille cloth &
where might I obtain a replacement? Where can I obtain a replacement for the
little silk linkage in the reproducer &, if needed, have the stylus bar
re-tipped with a diamond? Who does the best restorations of Diamond Disc
Reproducers? I have over 150 antique phonographs & am
interested in putting them back into top playing condition. Many thanks for
your attention to this query & every good wish...
Very truly yours,
Jim Cartwright

My last post didn't make it with the photo attached for some reason. I'll
try again. Limit loop is attached to the weight, Al. The hinge block is
large and unusual as well. No markings except for the serial number.
Regards, John
