Carsten's video demonstrating the performance of an Edison DD played
thru the big orthophonic horn of a Victor 10-50 by way of an adapted
Brunswick Ultona is very informative. It's just the thing I was going to
try some years ago, but I was too lazy in getting around to it and Carsten
beat
I remember watching that a while ago. It's pretty neat. The oversized
retaining ring seen inside the Brunny is probably because the diaphragm is
smaller so think of it as a reducer ring. I think it pretty much just grabs
the ortho diaphragm at its outside edge.

Hi Ron and all ~
Using a Kent adapter or similar device, yes, much easier, and the reverse of my
supposition. It seems to me that a test done in both directions would be more
informative than one or the other in isolation. Steve Medved just brought this
fascinating YouTube video to my attenti

Thanks for the title.
Maybe my friend can get one directly from 78rpm.com

Doing the comparison the other way around is easier, an orhtophonic record
on an Edison DD with a good lateral adaptor and Orthophonic reproducer.

Bob, the other name you're looking for is Nauck, Kurt Nauck, purveyor of one of
the best vintage record auctions on the planet. :-) Among other things, Kurt
provided the hundreds of hi-res label pictures on the included CD-ROM.

The book has been out of print for a while but Alan Sutton has said he has been
working on a revised edition. A few promised dates have come and gone but
other projects took precedence is what I understand. I presume it's getting
close. I have the 2000 edition. It's a great book but I'm als
When comparing the Edison DD to a Victor Orthophonic, it's best to think of
them in terms of their complete systems rather than the horn of one vs. the
horn of the other. Wouldn't it be an interesting experiment to connect the
output of an Edison DD reproducer on an Edison DD phonograph playing
Here's the book, but I see it's out of print and couldn't find it on the
Mainspring Press website either:

I think I know the title of which you speak.
Contact Kurt Nauck at www.78rpm.com to get a copy.
He produced the book with assistance from Sutton.
If that doesn't work, let us know.

Previously I got an "American history Of Record Labels" or something like
that from Main Spring Press however, had a friend look and we can't seem to
find the book. I likely have the title wrong, and I think it was by Sutton &
Knoxss (?)

I am the proud owner of a RE-57 - made in 1930-31. It has the home recording
feature on it, as well as the new tonearm. It works well.
Could any of you guys point me in the direction of where I can get the
production numbers and dates of all the radiola electrola units made during the

I find a Victrola 4 reproducer on an open horn machine to sound very nice.
Actually, almost any open horn machine (unless it has a very small horn
and/or very short tone arm) sounds better than internal horn machines.
Edison is the exception. His design was good enough that it didn't need to
