Interesting Edison C-250 option

Post by **Phono-Phan** » Sat Jun 06, 2015 4:57 pm

I am salvaging an Edison C-250 and came across an option I haven't seen before. There is a switch on the brake assembly and wires that go up the horn to the reproducer coller. It must be for some sort of light?
Does anyone have a complete version of this option?

Hiya,

That is the Edison "Electric Automatic Stop".

I wrote an article explaining it in detail and it is available on the Antique Phonograph Society website, here:

Thanks for sharing that in depth article. I will have to take a look at the reproducer to see if it has the hole for the wire at the pivot.

Yes, That is for the short lived "Duncan" Automatic stop feature. Very seldom seen, but you can find them if you look hard enough.
