Almost forgot about the original Edisonic Poster I picked up today. It's about three feet long and states FORM 6228 at the bottom. Also picked up some nice brown wax cylinders that play very good.

Re: Edisonic Poster
Actually it says 6228, which means it's from Feb. 1928 (ignore the 6, the rest is the month and year).rgordon939 wrote:Almost forgot about the original Edisonic Poster I picked up today.

Re: Edisonic Poster
No, the first digit is usually a type of form. For example, all the monthly supplements for Diamond Discs start with "4", so, for example, "Form 41028" is the October 1928 supplement, "Form 4129" comes from January 1929, etc.gramophone78 wrote:I thought it meant Feb. 6 1928.52089 wrote:Actually it says 6228, which means it's from Feb. 1928 (ignore the 6, the rest is the month and year).rgordon939 wrote:Almost forgot about the original Edisonic Poster I picked up today.
