[78-L] I Have An Edison Disc Phonograph!!!

[Philip Carli]

Your machine is certainly uncommon in the UK, as Edison distribution was limited there after WWI, and machines and discs were far more expensive than in the US not only because of import duties but also in proportion to British incomes.  Nice find.  Congratulations. PC

Hi 78ers!

Today, I took possession of a proper 'Edison (Diamond) Disc Phonograph'.
It's floor standing on four legs and has a couple of small cupboards
either side of the turntable!
It set me back £250 or about $375 but now I can play my Diamond discs
and hear them properly!

(smug smile) ;-)

Earl Okin.
