Help ID some Edison parts

[Big Beat]

Some Edison phonograph parts. Not sure which machine these fit - some appear to be for a Diamond Disc machine, and some maybe for a cylinder phonograph. I believe one piece is part of a Diamond Disc reproducer or tone arm, one part looks like a governor (cylinder or disc?), and another like a base for a horn or a reproducer part on a cylinder machine (that one is marked "licensed for use only on Edison" and appears to be chipped). Also some circular gaskets and a couple of pieces I cannot identify at all. What exactly are they all?

You have pieces to a Edison Diamond Disc reproducer. The 2 round rings hold the diaphragm in place. You also have a part ( bottom piece, bottom picture) of a Brunswick Ultona reproducer (the diamond disc side) and top part of an Edison cylinder reproducer. I don't know what the other govenor? piece is.

I've seen that type of governor used on electric motors. I have one on a direct drive 78 rpm motor, and the governor
is mounted on the shaft connected directly to the motor.

Possibly from an Edison Ekonowatt motor.

Thank you! So, just to make sure I get this straight, the heavy "bottle" shaped thing is part of the same Diamond Disc reproducer as the two rings and the tone arm, and everything else is non-related? And the only thing for a cylinder machine is the chipped reproducer part?

Also curious, what is the approximate value of these parts?

Because I love making these images....

Not sure of the value you'd put on them. None of them are complete so are probably not going to fetch too much $$.

Thank you, very helpful!

Yeah, I understand I'm not exactly sitting on a goldmine here, just wondering if, for example, the Diamond Disc parts are worth five bucks if I'm lucky, or closer to fifty and at least somewhat desirable. I ended up with these parts as part of a lot along with a piece I needed to repair my Brunswick. I have zero experience with Edison, so I can use some point of reference from someone more knowledgeable.
