The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I found this picture somewhere along the line and saved it because i was amazed that these turned up! Could you imagine waking up Christmas morning and unwrapping this ? I would love to find a package like this at least once in my life!!I had to share to those who might not have seen this picture.

Hi Eric;

I own this Edison crate with the Amberol records and attachments. It is a super piece. All items in the crate are NOS including the Model H reproducer, the mandrel (with cardboard feedscrew protector), gear clutch, instructions on how to intall the 2/4 minute gearing and also a page on the 2/4 gear change lever. Feel free to ask any questions.

Eric,, what are the letters on each cylinder? A-K and I assume no letter I ??

If I had that package I'd give to my friend Ray.He had a banner B Home that only plays 2 minute.With his Home to be able to play BOTH 2 and 4 minute he'd be able to have more fun! edisonplayer

That is really thoughtful of you! I hope he knows what a good friend he has in you!!

You are right, no "I". They were copied from wax Amberol cylinders with the same catalogue letters. There was also a range of Hebrew wax Amberol Specials, M, O, P, R, S, T, U, V, W but these weren't copied to the blues and are rarely seen.

Hope this helps
