Hello Ron, Thanks. I put it in the freezer for 20 minutes and then warmed it up kinda quick. It still didn't move so I took it out to the garage, put it in the vice(carefully padded) and used a padded pipe to rotate it. It is moving and now can be adjusted to play discs etc. But the arm has to be removed. Maybe it'll loosen up in time. I put a small amout of rig greese at the joint and maybe it'll work it's was in in time. No hurry. The PB spray is a good idea too. I would have not thought of your method. Thank you for your interest and assistance. Joe

Get some of that between the base and the arm and work it back and forth-not to much! Flush it out with sprays of wd-40 or whatever and check how well it moves . The idea it to get it to move really nicely but not sloppy-just keep repeating the process until you get it to were you want it. This method has always worked for me.

Message-ID: <[email protected]> Hi. I just purchased an Edison 30 machine. Many of the 4 minute cylinders echo when playing. I can take these same cylinders and play them on my Edison 75 and they play perfect. There are some cylinders to do play fine on the 30 machine, but about 70% of them echo. It is really noticeable with a Cal Stewart or vocal record. Is there anything that I can do to adjust the reproducer? Any assistance with this annoying problem would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Reproducers (model H especially) that echo really wear out the wax amberols. I presume a Diamond C with a chipped needle will really tear up a Blue Amberol as well.
