Hey all. Now I know have a 1926 1C cabinet phonograph. Needle is worn and affects play somewhat. Anyone know where I can find a new needle (or two?)

Are you saying that you have an Edison Disc Phonograph Model 1C? If so, these were Long Play Phonographs and originally had two Edison reproducers -- one for standard Diamond Disc records and one for Long Play Discs. An Edison Diamond Disc reproducer is fitted with s stylus more properly than a needle. The term needle implies an impermanent disposable point such as a steel, tungsten, bamboo or cactus needle. The term stylus implies a permanent jeweled point such as the Edison conical diamond or the Pathé (and others) sapphire ball. At any rate, bothe sized Edison styli are available from Expert Stylus in England or from Jeff Whittington and I as part of a reproducer rebuild package when one of our Million-Dollar Diaphragms is installed. Currently, there is about a six-week delay on standard styli from Expert.
