The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I'm looking for an on/off switch for a model C Edison Business Phonograph with an electric motor.

Is this what you want? If so, send me a direct email [email protected] Thanks, Tim m.

I have the pneumatic on/off switch if this is what you need. PM me with interest.

Thanks,

Matt

Thanks, but no. It is the one like in the pictures above.

The above pictured switch is available for $75……… if you think you can make one for twice that, I’ll take a couple. [email protected] to reach me in Norwalk, Ohio

Since you found one, why don't you buy it?

$75 just seems a lot to me for a switch.

I don't know much about these, but that looks like a fairly scarce item. I can tell you that if one needs to be made, it will cost a lot more, plus it won't be original. Just my opinion.

$75 is cheap for an uncommon original switch that it might take another 10 yrs to find as a spare... if at all.
