WHAT TIZ-IT?
Hi I have what looks to be a TIZ-IT. The only problem is that the reproducer end is quite large 0.915" and is way too big for an Edison reproducer. The small end fits an Edison horn perfectly. What tiz-it? any ideas appreciated.

Re: WHAT TIZ-IT?
It looks to me as if it were once a lateral record adapter for a Diamond Disc Phono that someone cut down for some reason. Odd.

It used to be a lateral adapter for an Edison Disc Phonograph. See the indexing post on the outside? Not for a BC.
