The tone arm support is currently being repaired and cleaned by George Vollema. As for the soundbox, I'm going to play the phonograph with it as is and if it sounds fine, it will be left alone until my phonograph coffers are refilled, haha. I am going to be selling this Edison Standard D player of mine and hope to get $200 or so from it. With it's sale, I will probably take the funds and use them to have this soundbox rebuilt, or just buy a nice brass reproduction soundbox.

Martin, A firearms forum I am a member of has a series of data sheets that people can fill out and submit so as to accumulate serial number and design change information to try and place a date on production. Perhaps creating a similar form for Edison phonographs (cylinder and disc players) and then having it sent out to all the phonograph forums would be a worthwhile endeavor. Undoubtedly there are plenty of folks on the various forums who can help you draft and edit these forms. Rest assured I'll be happy to help Cheers, Frank

Hi Larry,
I'd love to see photos of your Waltrip. Have you considered using a woven linkage like the original Edisons? I'm curious is this would change the sound between being too subdued and too bright.

The other one in the photo. I sold it, it went to China. Wow! Wish I knew how to make my C-250 look like this!

I fit the C-250 I acquired a month back in my 2007 Toyota Corolla. I disassembled the entire cabinet to fit it in the back, but it WILL fit in a small car! Hey---don't have a mental beakdown----if it fit in your car then good for you I wasn't for clarification...found it rather amusing driving several hours with a phonograph in pieces filling my car, but eh, troll away.

The C-250 I bought came with two sets of 50 dividers. Thought a few folks might be interested in the flip side of the record index. The actual card size is 11 5/8 inches long and 7 3/4 inches tall.

The gold upholstery fabric on the C-250 grill I knew was a replacement (the thumbtacks holding it in place...as if the fabric itself was not a give-away). When I removed it, I found traces of either the original fabric or a replacement fabric that was once on the grill.
This fabric is not the gold/green silk I was expecting...but RED. All the way around the frame are remains of a tight weave red fabric with a shiny texture. It may be silk or cotton, but by appearance I'm leaning to silk.
I have some burgundy silk I used on the S-19 and LC-38 I could install. My question is, was the green/gold grill fabric used by Edison a standard color, or were there variations in the color of grill cloth used?
