The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Round 2 of the newbie questions.

My C19 did not have number strips, nor remnants of number strips, in the cabinet. So, did all C19s have these strips? If so, any idea as to the switch over point for the 1 - 72 numbers versus the double 1 - 36 numbers?

Thanks in advance.

Fran can tell you about the variations in C-19 number strips. He's the C-250/C-19 expert!

For what it's worth, I have three C-19's, SM-158602, SM-155889 and SM-150603. All of them have the double 1-36 strips.

Hey Joe, yours would have had both index strips numbered 1-36. From my observances, after #167358 and before #168027 this changed to reflect the top strip numbered 1-36 and the bottom strip 37-72.

Best,
