I have a total of 24 blanks for sale http://members.tripod.com/~edison_1 On the Store Page. These blanks are sold in 2 lots of 12 blanks. I have a policy of only selling what I make and I do not take additional orders. First 2 emails wins the blanks. This the only fair solution to come up with. I just joined Phono L and it seems to be the most active of any of the phonograph discussion groups. _________________________________________________________________ How well do you know your celebrity gossip? http://originals.msn.com/thebigdebate?ocid=T002MSN03N0707A From eug4...@bentongue.com Sun Mar 23 16:46:52 2008 From: eug4...@bentongue.com (eug4not) Date: Sun Mar 23 17:48:01 2008 Subject: [Phono-L] Edison C-2 etc Message-ID: <47e6b3ac.17235.518...@eug4not.bentongue.com>
Hi folks, For those interested in the Edison radios, a look at Section 2 of my Site: http://www.bentogue.com will probably be interesting: It includes, among other things, Minutes of the Radio Factory Design and Manufacturing meetings, Service info and a copy of the multipage ad in the "Talking Machine and Radio Weekly" magazine introducing the second radio line at the Atlantic City RMA Trade show in 1930.

It is another fine example of how the Internet is a fantastic source for those thugs out there. A couple of things here: - Someone did the unthinkable by printing the ad, joke or no joke. - This points out the stupidity of individuals that believe every thing they read on line. Super example of this gullibility are the crazy nonsense urban legends that so many believed for so long. Many people walked around for months with their hands over their kidneys! - We, who use the net for fun an or profit, are susceptible to being taken. In fact, those that do not even use a computer are susceptible to foul play because everyone's name, address, phone number, aerial shots of property, are within reach of all within a minute or two. Back to the story... I don't believe most of those that took to the free shopping free really believed the ad. I think that they just felt that they had a 'leg to stand on' when robbing this man! As always, keep the speed limit at 78.........rpm that is!

The analyzing reproducer has a pin on the back side which fits in a hole in the traveling arm to set the needle at the correct angle to playing records. I think it had a thumb screw to hold the needle in place. I don't think the Columbia name was behind the diaphragm. It may have had a patent date; I can't remember. This inportant thing is the pin stoset the angle for playing.
