Edison A-200 mute ball & horn size question

[VanEpsFan1914]

Hello folks--

While visiting family this Sunday afternoon I saw two of those woolen dryer balls that my mother is now using to fluff the laundry. You drop them in a load of washing as you put it in the dryer and it is supposed to do a better job than dryer-sheets.

They are a nominal 2 ¾" in diameter and made of good wool.

My Edison A-200 "Queen Anne" model is missing its mute ball probably from when it was restored a number of years ago by a late rebuilder in New England. However, the original base of the mute ball was still in the base of the cabinet, as was the original volume control lever & cable, so I have saved these parts planning to repair the volume control assembly.

What diameter is the mute ball in a 200 size horn? Is it the same as used in a 250 size horn like a "Chippendale" model or is it a smaller one? I would like to know what size goes in an A-200 so I can decide which size of dryer ball to buy to make my replacement.


Thanks a million in advance for any reference material/measurements.
