Right now my C-2 plays through an Edison radio using the same chassis &
loudspeaker as the C-2 & yes I had the restorer make the filter
switchable
& do not use it on Diamond Discs. Both of my C-2s have been "restored"
but do not play well. Can you all recommend someone who really knows
how
to work on them? (I have a 3rd, but the restorer kept its chassis which
was incomplete & I've been uable to get him to return it.) Through the
Edison Radio using the C-2 turntable & pickup, Diamond Discs sound great!

Thanks for that information and the matrix number. Both my C-1 and C-2
have
the same speed control knobs. It should be an easy thing to dial back
the
speed indicator on the marked backplate for those late DD and Needle
Cuts
to
obtain an accurate 78rpm. I notice in the factory manual that they
recommended setting it at a comprimise of 79 rpm if primarily playing
DD.
I
doubt the average consumer of the day couldn't tell the difference one
way
or the other.
While on the subject of these machines, I'd like to know if anyone else
that has a C-1 or
C-2 switches OUT the filter. It vastly overfilters the DD on either
machine.
I rarely switch it IN.

Possibly for new owners of the C-1 and C-2 Edison radio/phonographs,
which
were capable of playing both lateral and vertical records by just
flipping
the stylus? -- one less step for new Edison owners to consider? --
And how late are we talking on Diamond Discs being at 78? The Goldman
Band
discs in the 52630s play at pitch at 80? I have 52650,a Frankie Marvin
disc, but I haven't played it in a long time -- might check it --

Why did they record the final diamond disc's at 78RPM? Seems rather odd
decision since existing owners would have to adjust the speed of their
machines for these records then adjust back for any of the previous 15
yr
+
worth of records.

Hello lucky owners,
How do these sound? Has anyone heard them played with the Diamond D? I
recently rebuilt one with a new stylus, the diaphragm was still good.
Even
without the extra weight it sounds better so I assume the final Diamond
C
with the weight from the same casting as the Diamond D also sounds
better.
I played an acoustic dub of an electrically recorded DD and there is a
difference.
Ron, the final DD records were recorded at 78 rpm so what was done when
they
were dubbed to BA's?
Best regards,
Steve
