The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I have seen different examples of this machine and the colour of the tonearm changes. Did Edison produce two different tonearm/reproducers for this machine: one chrome, the other gold tone?

All I've seen were originally nickel plated.

These are pics of different machines.

The reproducers are a standard fit, and can used on all Diamond Disc models, despite their respective finishes. It's common to find machines with reproducers from a different model.

I hope this helps,
Fran

Yes, I thought that these might have been swapped out for another reproducer but thanks for confirming it.

You're welcome, I'm happy to help.
