This is from Ron D: The change was made in Feb. 1929 when the old 79 Fifth Avenue Studios were abandoned for new ones further up 5th avenue. All DDs with matrix numbers of 19025 and above were recorded at 78 rpm. When dubbing to 160 rpm Blue Amberols from 78s, the master was simply played at 78 rpm into the cylinder recorder. The Edison Co. advised dealers to tell customers to play old 80 rpm DDs at 79 rpm as a happy medium for both types of Edison records. I suspect that customers may not have noticed the difference between 78 and 80 rpm when playing discs. Ron
