Weights first to last: Round, trowel, bent 5 different types, N-56 with lift
pillar. Most common round or bent. Least are the two trowels. Most common
bent has the N on the weight and the pin holding the stylus bar. The N was
made for the Standard E, Edison wanted to use the R. It was used on the Gem E,
optional for the amberola 8 and 10. The N-56 was made because the regular N
did not work on the 5 and 6, it was made for playing wax amberols in 1913, an
obsolete reproducer for obsolete records which Edison continued to sell until
the fire. No more new 2 minute titles were made after sept 1912 and many of
the late records burned
up. How often do you see a standard record box or an N-56? Steve
