The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Greetings to all. As I understand it, Edison distributed a 78 rpm adapter for a short time in 1914. I'd like to buy one to use on my Beethoven Edisonic. Please email or PM me if you have one for sale.

Thanks!

That's mentioned and pictured on page 39 of the 2001 edition of Frow's book. Below are some better pictures. Of course it would work on your Edisonic but would be more period corrrect with an A series Diamond Disc machine. A better match for your Edisonic machine would be the one offered specifically for the Edisonic in 1928 mentioned on page 176 of the same book. I don't have a picture of that one. Maybe someone else can provide more info.

In the first photo it looks great, but with a terrible alignment!

Okay, thanks for the info Valecnik! I guess I need one of the ones meant specifically for the Edisonic. So if anyone has one of those they would part with, please let me know.

Thanks again,

Richard
