[Phono-L] Crane for Edison Triumph?

[Richard via Phono-L]

Greetings, everyone.  I recently purchased a nice old Edison Triumph A that 
came with two original horns:  An 12" brass witch's hat, and a 31" brass 
witch's hat.  I focus on disc machines and haven't owned many cylinder 
machines, and have never owned one for which I needed a crane, but I think I'd 
like to use the large horn with this one, which means I'll need to find a crane 
somewhere.  I'm not even sure what type to look for -- I don't think this horn 
is large enough to warrant a floor-standing crane, but beyond that I'm 
clueless.  I'm not sure this horn was ever used with this machine, as the case 
doesn't have any brackets affixed to it.  Can anyone out there tell me a) what 
type of crane would work best; b) where (besides ebay) I might find one; and c) 
how much I should expect to pay for one?  Of course, if any of you have one to 
sell, that would be great!

Speaking of selling, if any of you have some cylinders you wish to sell -- any 
make, 2 or 4 minute (no Concert or Twentieth Century), cases or no cases -- 
please let me know.  The more, the better!

Thanks--

One thing you didn't address.   Do you want original only or repro?  And if
it is original how nice does it have to be. George Vollema at Great
Lakes Antique Phonographs is one source for either type.   Google Edison
Triumph and look at images to get an idea of the variety of options.

[Phono-L] Take numbers on electric Columbias

[Merle Sprinzen via Phono-L]

I'm a little embarrassed that I don't know this, but not too embarrassed to
ask.  

 

In looking at the records that were included in the set of four Bubble Books
that were recorded electrically, I'm seeing the matrix number in the wax
along with a set of numbers, of the form "number dash number," like "4-2" or
"3-1."   This undoubtedly is telling me the take number, but I don't know
how to read it.  Would someone let me know to decipher the code, please?

 

Thanks ever so much,

 

Merle

Hi, Ron. I should have specified, I'd prefer an original, but would certainly 
consider a repro. If it's original, I'd prefer it not be rusty.
