I found this on Ebay but I can't put a brand to it. Anybody have a clue?

If it fits an AZ, I'll bid.

It says it will fit an AZ in the description.

This is a early 1940s Ediphone reproducer. It goes in the grey cabinet listening version.

It from an Edison Dictaphone dating around 1926. It will fit any standard size carriage but the sound quality is not very good. You see them on eBay for around $25.00.

I agree with the others that the reproducer fits some model of Edison dictaphone. It is inappropriate for an Edison consumer phonograph, to say nothing for a Graphophone!

ahhh. I'd still pick it up if it is cheapish- the cost of a proper AZ reproducer is pretty stiff.

Not to pick nits, but an "Edison Dictaphone" would be something like an "Edison Graphophone." Two different companies. It's an Edison Ediphone.

Thanks George, you are correct. I meant to say Ediphone and typed Dictaphine.
