This discussion reminded me of a situation here, a few years back: The
power company replaced the wires from my house to the pole, and a few
months later, I happened to touch the metal pipe through which the wires ran
to my meter in the cellar. ZAP! The pipe had never been attached to the

It's actually a very convenient thing, helping to reduce the awkwardness of the
little flip lever and likely preventing stylus damage from missing the edge of
the record.
I think they came out around the same time as the LP system, where protecting
the fine LP stylus was even more crucial.
Yes, there were 12 disks and special reproducers and styli to play them.
The groove is extremely fine. The phono had to be dead level too, I
believe. The 10/12 buttons activated a stop to the amount the horn would
swing by means of a small arm attached to the top edge of the horn.

I concur that the button makes it easier, especially on a nice, well-lubricated
machine where it's easy to go too far and then swinging all that mass back over
to the right (without going too far again), prior to setting the diamond down
on the disc. I don't speed through, but it's a lot of
Twelve-inch discs were recorded in preparation for a new series, but the
Long Playing program was decided upon,. instead. 12 masters had been
recorded as far back as 1910, too. Problems with the gold-sputtering process

I just noticed that on American restoration tonight at 9:00 PM CST on the
History Channel that a customer brings in an Alba Gramophone to be restored.
I suspect he will never do that again.
