Thanks to all who replied, and so quickly. :) The London model Diamond Disc cabinet is a mess. However...I found that there are about 15 thick records with Edison on the label. They are asking $125 for phono and records (reduced from about $225)
Can you folks give me an idea of what the records alone might be worth, and what I should look for as to condition and content? As I said earlier, I am only familiar with the cylinders which we collected in the 1950-60's...and still have. If I recall correctly, those fat Diamond Disc records often chip off on the ends...they separate?? I would assume that if in that condition, their value is limited? Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated! And to the person who asked about the head: Yes, it is a head which resembles the one on the cylinder phonos. But it seems to be longer in the end where it attaches to horn connection...if memory serves. I touched what looked like a clear small diamond (?) and it conducted sound (scratchy from fingertip) to the horn. So apparently the diaphragm is intact. The rest is a disaster. :) Thanks, Ger PS: How does one show photos on the list? I sent one and it did not come through. Should I put a link??? _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
