Hi, I am looking for an original Tiz-It for my Edison Standard D with cygnet horn. If anyone has an extra they'd be willing to sell me, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks.

These show up on Ebay quite often. Some have the volume control and some don't.

Hopefully someone might have one of these for you. I pulled these off of my machines for comparison. Two of them have a volume control and one doesn't. The volume control ones don't show up too often.

I had no idea there were two types, that's great to know! Thank you for taking the time to post the pictures!

Hi, Are you looking for volume control only?
If so, I remember 45 yrs ago or so reading folks used to use rolled up cloth, or a tennis ball, paper, etc to achieve volume control.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards, Bob

Thanks Bob, I'm looking for a Tiz-It to connect the cygnet and phonograph. Volume control wasn't something that I knew (some of) these little things could do!
