The Edison Diamond disc records are all 10" with a white paper label. All are in the 50,000 or 51,000 range, except: 8915, 7826, 5110 and 80398. I don't have time right now to list them all with titles and artists; 2 have a red star. 2 have "Re-Creation" on the label. What exactly does that mean!?
Two are in very nice condition. Some have a scratch or two in the grooves (like somebody tried the wrong needle); a few have light scratches across; one is badly scratched; 2 or 3 look like they have a brown hand print which reminds me of the mold I've seen on the cylinders. Is that fixable on these, say with alcohol?? None are splitting. Only 2 or 3 have shallow chips on the edge...none extending into the grooves. None are warped. **What are the numbers on the lower part (edge) of the label (like 8696 and 8695) for? **Also, there are scribed numbers in the plastic. Are they like the cylinders, showing which "take," or something else?? I took a flying leap ;) and bought the 15 records and the reproducer head too. I left the messed up rest...the owner seemed happy. I made an offer for these (well below asking) and she took it. :) I'm guessing that she'll probably junk the rest...maybe not. If it was not so heavy, I would have taken the whole machine to muck around with. But I just could not handle it. Happy, peaceful and safe Holidays to all! I will be back on Friday or Saturday and hopefully can work up a list then. Thanks again, Ger _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
