The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hoping someone could give me some advice on purchasing two complete reproduction Cygnet horn cranes for Edison Standard/Home machines. Need the complete deal; with the 2 pieces, screw, etc. Is Wyatt's Musical Americana (in CA) still the best place to purchase these? I haven't purchased from them in 25+ years and haven't been able to get through on their phone in the past couple weeks. I want quality reproduction cranes, not cheap looking junk. Thanks in advance!

If Musical Americana is not available try Ron Sitko (contact info available in the "Links" section of our Forum). They will want to know the carriage on each Edison machine. There is a difference in cranes between a machine where the reproducer points straight up or one and angles forward. Hope this helps.
