> Getting back to the Edison DD, when I attended the RCA centenial event a few weeks ago, there was a?Victrola at the entrance to the Victor Pub in which the event took place.? This Victrola belonged to the pub and it had a Brunswick style Ultona arm on it, which allowed it to play Edison, Pathe and regular disc records.? I don't know whether this was a modification or if Victor built machines with this arm, "Look for the?Dog" doesn't mention any machines including this arm.

I saw the machine in question and it certainly was not an approved 
Victor modification.  It probably came about because the back bracket 
was pot metal and probably broke.  The Victor Pub should invest the 
money to have it properly restored.
