Help please - Edison Polyphon Attachment

Did that come out of the PA auction?

No, this one was discovered sometime back in January. It had been altered to play with one reproducer rather than two on a standard size mandrel (not concert mandrel).

Have you had any development on this Polyphone carriage? Anxious to see the finished product...this will be one super machine when finished....Keep us posted..

I am looking forward as well to see the repaired carriage. The impossible takes a bit longer. Hopefully in April I will have a constructive update.

Whatever happened with this machine / project?

Hi George,

thanks for remembering - still not finished. The arm was heated and bent back to its original shape. Some filling was required as a wedge had been cut out to put in the acute bend. A piece was added under the 2nd reproducer holder to bring it back to its correct length, and luckily the original lift lever was still present so can be re-attached. I believe the next step is re-nickel, and then we should have it back together!

Are you doing the work yourself? I know that this project needed a skilled craftsman to make it happen...I too am anxious to see the finished product...this will be one standout phono. With a great story behind it...very glad that you have the skill to make it happen...

Keep us posted...
