Edison Diamond Disc Phonograph model H-19 free to a good home. It was given to me and I don't have the room to keep it. The cabinet is in lovely condition. The motor turns, but it has a hard time maintaining speed when you put the reproducer on the record. Reproducer sounds good. Decent little

I'm not sure about an Edison DD machine - it fits a Victrola tone arm - same size cuff as the Exhibition or No.2 reproducer. I tried out the vertical setting last night on a Par-O-Ket record and it worked very nicely. It's fun - tinkering with the little screws to get the angles right - some sati

The VV 4-3 "Consolette" - I have the second cabinet style of this machine - is an orthophonic. The orthophonic reproducers that were made of cast metal are prone to cracks with age, and maybe that is what happened to the reproducer on your machine - maybe a previous owner replaced it with this one

If someone has the Victor Red Seal Discography Volume 1 they could look it up. I looked in the Encyclopedic Discography of Victor Recordings, and I find nothing about your recording there. I did see that Ruffo recorded 3 takes of Toreador Song in 1923, but those matrices appear to have been destr

I observe a difference in shape between antique/original phono needles, and newly manufactured ones. The antique needles I've found are slightly longer, and are tapered along the full length of the needle - a true needle shape. The newly manufactured ones are somewhat shorter, and are not tapered
