Just got my reproduction grill for my Edison B250 diamond disc player. I've had this machine for about 3 years with a totally busted up grill and now I have a new one! The folks who have the 2nd hand store across the street from my shoppe in Castle Rock made it for me. When I complained to them about not having a grill, they said they would make one up for me if I wanted. She has been making arty things with their special saw for years, so I gave her the grill from my A250 for a pattern and she made 2 grills for me at the same time, one for the A250 (a little taller than the B250 grill) and one for the B250. She didn't seem to think it was a big deal and was surprised at how happy I was when she gave them to me, and I was very happy! Way beyond my expectations. Now she's making a back grill for my Edison Amberola V. She does this while she is relaxing watching TV. Who knew..??

Now I have an extra A250 grill. Guess I'll have to find another A250 with no grill...

Jeepers, that's nicely done! Congrats to you and to the talented lady who made it! I think I know how she could make herself some very nice money while watching TV! (Though I've gotta admit, how she could possibly do that kind of close work relaxing in front of the tube is beyond me!)
