Edison AB80 on Ebay (Item 321127378414). First I've heard of an AB machine. Looked around on the web but cannot find much info - says it needs a belt - I have a B80, wonder if the belt size is the same..
Experts enlighten me on this machine. Tnx

Re: Edison AB80
Difficult to tell from the pics but I suppose its a B80 that was erroneously stamped as an A, then corrected. Never seen that particular mistake before on an Edison Disc Machine.

Re: Edison AB80
The machine pictured on eBay is an A-80, and the serial number (1956) is well below the transition to the B-80. Why both letters were stamped is a mystery!
