I was wondering what the optimal reproducer to play 2 minute indestructable celluloid cylinders made by Oxford, Albany, columbia.

Thanks, Ben

If you have an Edison phonograph, that would be a Diamond B, if you have the carriage for it.
(Otherwise, it would be a C)

Thanks, I own two edison home model B's (one two minute and one 2-4) And I have a model h four minute reproducer mounted. I would love to have a machine with a horizontal carriage and a diamond reproducer.

The Diamond B is for celluloid 2M & 4M cylinders.
They sound great and worth having.
