Wanted: Lid Part For Edison Cylinder Phonograph
I am missing one of the lid guide parts on an Edison cylinder phonograph. Rather than making one I'd like to find an original part. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Paul

Looks like it's a lid clip from an Ideal and Idelia

Are they specific to those models and not used on any other machines?

Why don't you post a picture of the machine and lid.

The machine is an idelia. I just thought that maybe another more common machine shared the same part.

I'm afraid only the Ideal/Idelia used that clip.
