Are there still conversion kits available/parts to convert an Edison Standard to play Blue Amberols? Either old or new solutions welcomed. Thanks.

They show up from time to time on ebay, typically in the $150 range.

Do these have a specific name or something like "Amberol Conversion Kit"?

They're usually called "2-4 minute conversion kits".

Back in the day, the Edison factory referred to these kits as "Combination Attachments."

Doing a search on E-bay just now for "edison attachment" yielded 5 of these kits
being offered for use on a Edison Standard.
