It can be changed to play 2/4 minute cylinders but that would compromise it. I have one that shifts and may change it to the four minute mode only. Look in the lid of the standard. Some come with a E tag covering the reproducer tag. That makes the deal better., Also the latches in the lid should be three screws to hold them on instead of four.
Thank you. I'll look for that.
