Hi Brantley,
Echo when playing Edison records (DDs or cylinders) is usually a sign of
a worn stylus. It could also be caused by the hinge block not moving
freely. You should check your stylus under a fairly powerful microscope and
look for the formation of shoulders on either side of the center of the tip.
These are signs of excessive wear and you should replace the stylus. Check
the hinge or pivot at the back of the reproducer that allows the weight to
move sideways within the limits of the limit loop at the front. This pivot
should move freely. Clean it and lubricate it if it feels sticky or tight.
