That's a Type "AW" Graphophone from 1904. The "AO" is identical except for the reproducer - a short-lived design similar to a disc sound box. Owners of the "AO" could purchase the "AW" reproducer for an additional $5.00.

I will take the record off but that's the way it came, i did not put it on there. I bought it that way and stuck it in my building, i haven't been to that building in about 7 months.. I seen a few more buried in the back but i can't get to them until i move some stuff..phonophan79 wrote:Ack! LOL, this is what we were talking about in the "records..." thread, get the Victor record away from the Edison machine!You can only play Edison discs (the thick ones) on an Edison machine.
...but otherwise, your Edison is a C-200, which is a nice machine, IMHO. It's not common, but not rare either. It has a good sized horn and gold plated turntable parts. The C-200 is also known as the "Adam" due to its cabinet design. more info at: http://www.edisonphonology.com/c200.htm
The Brunswick is a nice machine because you have an Ultona reproducer. It has two stylus (styli?). In its current position, as pictured, it plays standard (lateral) 78's... but then you can rotate the reproducer so that it plays Pathé (vertical) discs... altho I could not tell you the condition of the sapphire stylus for playing vertical discs.
Trust me i won't be using the wrong records on the wrong machines. I pick things up fairly fast so...

The Brunswick is interesting, in that the Ultona reproducer head seems to be a 2-way, (Lateral and Pathé Vertical) as opposed to the 3-way ( Lateral, Pathé, Edison Diamond Disc ). Have not see this version before.Ole Canal Antiques wrote:Here's a few more machines i have in another building.. Don't know much about them other than they work and i like them!

Yeah, 3-ways are probably the most rare... they have 2-way standard/Pathé and 2-way standard/edison as well.

Ah, so it is an "AW". The only one I could find online with the model designation was in the early style cabinet, but the works looked different too, so I thought the one pictured here must have been the "AO". Now I can see the works are photographed from opposite sides lol.phonogfp wrote:That's a Type "AW" Graphophone from 1904.

Here too is a pic of the reproducer from the 1906 UK catalogue.
