Does this attachment fit an Edison disc machine? Sounds just like one
that I have

Subject: [Phono-L] Dual Lateral/Vertical Reproducer
Hello - I found a dual lateral/vertical reproducer in an antique shop today.
It was in a box of "accessories" for a floor model Victrola XI. I asked if
they would part with just that piece and managed to buy it pretty
reasonably. It has what appears to be a Bakelite diaphragm - it's opaque
brown. The needle holder has two holes - one in line with the diaphragm for
the lateral records, and one angled for vertical cut records. Its backing
has two L-tubes that can be twisted around to position the reproducer for
the appropriate record type. When in position for a vertical cut record the
diaphragm is positioned face down horizontal to the turntable - as with an
Ultona. It's not an Ultona, but I don't see any markings indicating what
company manufactured this piece. I was hoping someone would recognize it by
this description and might know something more about it.
