Duncan automatic stop - see Frow, The Edison Disc Phonographs, page 190 ff. -Original Message- From: phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org [mailto:phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org] On Behalf Of William Zucca Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 9:05 PM To: Antique Phonograph List Subject: [Phono-L] Diamond Disc 250 Mystery Hello Phonolisters: Today while I was out looking for records I came across an Edison Diamond Disc player, model 250 that had several items that I have never seen before. Attached to the bottom of the brass portion of the top of the horn just behind the locking ferrule is a small brass pipe that runs down below the motorboard and contains an electrical wire that starts with a small phonetip on the upper end and ends in a bare end below the motorboard. The wire is about 18" long. Also interesting is an electric switch below the turntable that seems to be part of the stop mechanism.

Re: [Phono-L] Diamond Disc 250 Mystery
It's the Duncan Automatic Stop ! That phonetip plugs into a little hole on the back of the reproducer; when the limit pin touches the loop, the Duncan stops the phono for you. - Original Message - From: "William Zucca" To: "Antique Phonograph List" Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 9:05 PM Subject: [Phono-L] Diamond Disc 250 Mystery Hello Phonolisters: Today while I was out looking for records I came across an Edison Diamond Disc player, model 250 that had several items that I have never seen before.
