Fireside project and a few decisions
Posted: Thu Oct 11, 2018 11:37 pm
I just bought a Fireside Model A project from the Trader.
It's cool. Really cool. 'Course it will get new finish and whatnot to spiff it up but there's enough originality on it to make it a nice survivor.
The reproducer is gone, the carrier eye is small, and there is a cygnet bracket.
What combo of horn and reproducer should I do? I know a 10 panel cygnet is in order (90% of why I actually bought a Fireside) and I have a GREAT 2m Model C that's currently living in my Standard A but should I do the C and H shuffle or get a combo reproducer?
My dream machine was to put a great horn on with a K Reproducer rebuilt with large TrueTone diaphragm from LarryH but I don't know if this is right.
Currently I have my Standard A, Standard E, and Amberola 30 all ready to go so there's no shortage of cylinder players to listen to here. There's lots of time for the Forum to render a judgment.
