These were specifically designed and marketed for converted Edison Concert (5") machines. Frow reports:
"This reproducer enabled owners of the obsolete CONCERT machines, now fitted with a mandrel for standard cylinders to convert to playing Amberol records. In laboratory testing with the new Amberol cylinders the Model H was found too heavy in the "on top" position of the carrier arm and apt to cut the records, so the Model J was given a lighter weight."
Asking $425 but open to reasonable offers including interesting trades.
