134. Setting the tracking on an Edison Diamond Disc phonograph

[@audiophile1024]

You inspired me to oil my A250 today. It works fine, but I want it to keep going. Thanks.

Getting ready to reassemble my C19 so this is helpful!

[@frankgiunto3600]

Seems on the left back corner you have a second silver head/needle setup. What is that used for? Different type of records maybe? Or is it just a spare?

[@jontscott]

More searching on youtube gave me an answer... kzbin.info/www/bejne/mn6UnKunjtZrsJY Seems it is for other types of records.

It is a reproducer for a regular 78 rpm shellac record. It uses steel needles like a regular 78 rpm player has. The diamond stylus floating needle is mounted at a 90degree angle to the record on the diamond disc models. There is a ring on the back of the horn which turns to release and lock in whichever reproducer one is using at the moment making this machine more versatile.

Hello. I have a Edison Diamond Disc phonograph L-35 , It can be played without the spindle drive gear, right?Thanks

[@1974hurt]

No, you need a spindle drive gear.

[@tunjanhsu]

spindle drive gear,Its function is to control the speed?

[@1974hurt]

@@tunjanhsu it’s what regulates the speed of the machine, yes
