Playing Black Amberol Cylinders

Post by zapper »

I have been reading the APS guide on playing cylinders with different reproducers but I am still stupidly confused as to whether I can play 4m black amberols with my 'K' reproducer on my Fireside or should I use an 'H' reproducer?
Thanks for any help

You can use your K Reproducer to play 4 minute black wax Amberols. Just be sure to use the proper stylus! :)

I believe any Edison reproducer that has a sapphire stylus designed for 4-minute records is correct for a Black wax Amberol record. And all Edison reproducers have sapphire stylii unless they have the word "Diamond" in their names, such as Diamond A, Diamond B, etc.

If I am in error, I'm sure someone will correct me.
