I recently bought a really nice Edison B-200 phonograph; complete but without a key...
Which key do I need for it ?

And: who can give me some more information about this model ? How many were produced for example ?
There's nearly no information on internet...

Thanks in advance !

Pretty sure the B200 came with the gold dolphin key.
According to Frow, the B200 was introduced just after the Dec 1914 fire. Just 3 complete A200s were left, so it was decided to fit the new Type B motor to the remaining 3647 cabinets left in stock. The price was reduced to $165 in May 1915 to clear stocks & make way for new models, and it seems by June 1915, all remaining stocks had been sold.
