The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Good Evening All,

I have found myself in a bit of a pickle. I own an Edison Fireside Model A and I am looking to make use of a Model N reproducer.

I require the larger carriage arm that the reproducer sits within, however, I have no idea what style carriage arm is compatible with my Fireside Model A.

Will a large standard carriage arm do the trick or is a fireside model b (larger style) the only compatible option on a Fireside model A

The Fireside horizontal carriage is specific to this model and the Amberola X, so you need to find one of those for this to work. You might try George Vollema - Great Lakes Antique Phonograph... https://www.victroladoctor.com/

You could also place a "WANTED" in the Yankee Trader section or Machines on this forum.

Thanks Curt,

I will be on the lookout for these two now.

Really appreciate the advice
