Dear John,
The box the attachment came in is marked "Edison Needle-Cut Attachment" &
the soundbox (reproducer) has what appears to be an aluminum diaphragm.
Its case is nickel plated & on the back it says in letters "EDISON" in
smaller letters it says"Orange, N.J.," & "Made
in U.S.A." There is also a facsimile of Edison's famous signature. On
the front there is a large script "E" on the diaphragm cover over the
stylus bar & a cut out ligthtening bolt cut on either side.
On a twelve inch 78, when I lower the horn to engage the feed gear in the
far right position by the time the record has played the horn has
swung to the left & the tracking is absolutely terrible.
Does anyone have instructions put out by the Edison company for using this
attachment when was obviously manufactured by them & probably included with
the Edison models?
Thanks. All good wishes...
Very truly yours,
Jim Cartwright
