It's had the conversion and came with a Diamond B reproducer - I guess that's why the 'Special' Amberols were in the bundle.

"1524 Silver Bell is among my most favorite of all cylinders."

You're not the only one to think this..

Apparently Edison thought the same back in the day the Blue Amberols for this was made....as I have one copy that reads
"....124" on the side meaning 4th take, 124th mold master. They must have pressed this song for years!
