Here is a picture of an Edison Recording Studio recording machine. This one is up for "adoption" by the Friends of Edison. They have an "Adopt A Phonograph" program where you can make donations for the repair of the phonographs listed that will then be added to the museum...phonophan79 wrote:He mentioned that the actual studio would have had more "professional" recording equipment, including a machine that would keep the mandrel more "in the round". He said that the museum only has 4 complete of these kind of recorders but I didn't know that a lamp was supposed to be used when recording a cylinder, so I did not ask, sorry!gramophoneshane wrote:I notice they didn't use a lamp to heat the cylinder while recording. Do you know if it was a standard 2m recorder they use, or was it a special recorder capable of cutting the wax better than the regular recorder?
The cylinder he was using, as he mentions, is a "new" cylinder from a private collectors creation in England.
