Odd Edison 4 Minute Recorder

Post by Phono+888 »

Hi all,

I just picked up an Edison Style 4 Minute Recorder. This was installed on an Amberola 30 using an adapter ring. I have taken photo of it next to my other 4 minute recorder which has all of the Edison marking. This one only has Recorder and a SN on it. It is cast from pot metal. The weight and ski jump look correct for an Edison. I did have a look around the internet and have seen other pot metal top housing but they had the Edison markings and much higher serial numbers. The cutter is present as I had a look with my digital microscope. It measures the same as the other reproducer in the pictures.

Thanks for any information.

Todd

Could that have been typical of recorders used on the ICS Amberolas?

It may be a recorder for an Ediphone - - especially if the tube is shorter than usual.
