Can anyone identify ths reproducer?

Post by Phonofolks »

I found this reproducer on an Edison Home recently. I have never seen one like this before. Does anyone know what this reproducer is and what it belongs to? The number 26 is seen on the bottom. Any information is appreciated. Thanks.

From what I can see, a side view photo would be also helpful, it appears to be a Dictaphone or other office machine reproducer. The stylus would be likely designed to play a groove of 150tpi, instead of 200tpi for 4- or 100tpi for 2-minute cylinders.

It appears to be a variation of the early Ediphone reproducer seen here- http://www.edisonshop.com/reproducers/ducer.html
