Albany, Oxford, etc, celluloid 2 minute cylinders.

Post by Ben the phono man »

I was wondering what the optimal reproducer to play 2 minute indestructable celluloid cylinders made by Oxford, Albany, columbia.

Thanks, Ben

If you have an Edison phonograph, that would be a Diamond B, if you have the carriage for it.
(Otherwise, it would be a C)

The Diamond B is for celluloid 2M & 4M cylinders.
They sound great and worth having.
