I bought this also from ebay a few years ago. Again, I was lucky and the only bidder. I never saw anything like this before in all my years of collecting. I tried to play this on my Columbia BF,with 6" mandrel, but it was to fast. I believe Dictaphone cylinders play at 90 RPM. I could be wrong. It was also warblery. Maybe it is 4 min. gearing, I don't know. Anyway, it is an interesting piece, and i had to have it. If anybody has any insight, please let me know.

Harvey, he may not know anything about what he sold, but it's worth sending Kirkwood a PM.
