I'm not sure about an Edison DD machine - it fits a Victrola tone arm - same size cuff as the Exhibition or No.2 reproducer. I tried out the vertical setting last night on a Par-O-Ket record and it worked very nicely. It's fun - tinkering with the little screws to get the angles right - some satisfying puttering.

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. _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
