WANTED: Edison C-4 Pickup and Tone Arm

Post by Uncle Vanya »

A few weeks ago I picked up a very clean Edison C-4 Combination, but at some point in the past a radio repairman had replaced the original pickup and tone arm with an Astatic crystal unit. So of course I'm looking for an original Edison arm and pickup. I'd be willing to buy or to trade. I have buckets of reproducers and pickups, including some nice early Victor Electrola stuff, but no Edison.

Has anyone a tone arm for sale?

Congrats on picking up the C-4. When I bought my C-4, it came with the pickup on the tonearm, and down in the bottom of the record storage on the side, hiding under the cardboard separators was a time machine: children's records from c.1929 on Cameo-Kid and some other labels. Also there was another Edison pickup. Both pickups have been recently rebuilt by George Epple and sound fantastic. But I don't have an Edison tonearm.

Thanks to Marc I have the pickup that I need, but now I still must find an Edison tone arm for the C-4.

Has anyone an arm to spare?[YouTubeHQ][/YouTubeHQ]

I saw there was a very complete C-4 that sold near Columbus, I think on Ebay. It even had the Light-O-Matic key. It sold.
