Re: [Phono-L] what is this?
I thought it was a lateral disc cutter, because of the pivot. Always thought hill dale recorders had the cutting point mounted directly on the diaphragm - Original Message - From: Thomas Edison edisonphonowo...@hotmail.com To: phono-l@oldcrank.org Sent: Thursday, April 21, 2011 1:01 AM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] what is this? I thought I was among seasoned old timy collectors who knew everything, about everything! This. Is an Edison/ Walter Miller factory recording head, for studio use to make master cylinder recordings, the knob is the advance ball adjustment. This device should ONLY be in the hands of someone that is adept at, and intends, to use it for the purpose so stated, has the knowlwdge to build the special carrage to use it. It would be a shameful, for this part to be purchased someone who puts it away, never restores it , does not intend to use it, that. Would be a waste! I know how to restore it and use it, does anyone else? I had a collector tell me he had a whole Edison studio lathe, and. He put it away in some barn, and I offered to teach him how to use it ect, and he said heWould leave it where it was and did not want to sell it. Oh how frustrating! Page 45 of the new In The Groove has this device in place, it also can be used to record Diamond Disc masters, as well. What I w ant to know is how this is in public hands? This should be at the T.E. Historical Park, perhaps the guy who stole the signatures, stole this too? ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
Re: [Phono-L] Rooster
Hi Kurt, Would you mind posting a photo of your restored Pathe rooster - before and after if you have them? I just made an offer to the guy who has one in an old store - $500, based on your rooster's condition and knowing him, he is a real hoarder, it might not make any difference to him anyway. This one has some leg damage that has been repaired in some manner - it's still standing... a chip on the beak, it has been fastened down to a cabinet with two screws and someone filed off the lettering on the base where the Pathe logo is supposed to be. It still has the phrasing embossed on the side of the base about no needle replacement necessary, or something to that effect. I am sure it can be restored, IF I can talk him out of it... the offer is high in his mind considering the condition and that he knows nothing of it...

[Phono-L] Re What is this.
The first time I viewed this and made my answer, I just saw the top of the recorder, which Is shaped like the Edison factory recorders, I was viewing it on a phone, and so now I went back to it, and made the photos bigger, and observed the other photo of the business end on a regular computer. It still is a recorder, I do not think it is an Edison one, although it follows the same layout of a studio recorder, shape, the advance ball knob is more star shaped on this example and Edisons are more nickel and round, though if it was a lateral recorder the cutting stylus would be pointed down towards the bottom of the casing, however in this one, it still in line with the diaphragm. The advance ball jewel is missing, and would fit in the hole in the metal spring bar, this would sit with the horn tube facing up and the star wheel facing up, to adjust the depth of the cut, this goes on a trunion style affair, where this bobs up and down on the the disc or cylinder, it looks verti cal to me, The round stud is where the cutting stylus is supposed to be mounted, the affair in the center is the linkage to the center of the diaphragm,still a really interesting piece, for sure, and it seems the jewels are the only thing missing. And still I hope whomever gets it uses it! Sincerely Shawn ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org

Re: [Phono-L] Re What is this.
Could it be a U-S Phonograph recorder? Their managerial and technical staff was largely Edison-derived, and Edison sued the company more closely than any other record company -- might the resemblance of this recorder to Edison recorders be familial?
