Hi I have a few Edison recorders but they are all missing there cutter, does anyone know where I can get some? I also bought these cutters mounted on mica, does anyone recognize them? I think they are 4 minute, probably for an office machine, just not sure. Thanks Marcel

Hi, Some time ago I read about someone making wax cylinders for recording. I found a web site but am unable to contact the owner with the provided email address, could someone help me to get in contact?
Thanks Marcel

Hi I have been watching Carnivale, my sister lent me the box set. There are a lot of Gramophones on that set, my girl said to me that this should be my favorite movie because it is full of tits and Gramophones, I think I have counted 6 so far, gramophones that is ;D

Hi I recently bought an Edison Home model B to restore. The lift lever was missing when I bought it, the mounting is a bit different to others I have and encountered. Where there should be a plain stud there is a threaded stud, and the hole where the screw should go in has no thread and is larger than the original screw. does anybody have a machine that is made like this? or do I have an oddity. This is how I would expect it to go. Thanks in Advance for any help. Regards Marcel

Hi Thanks for the reply's. I didn't set out to buy these machines they were part of the collection I recently bought, they seem to be in good condition and came with about eight new cylinders, I am now interested in getting them going. These are some pictures of them, I also have the stands that they mount onto and a lot of cylinder boxes, head set (missing one ear cup) and a set of air pedals which I assume is for the listening machine for stop start. I am missing the cord to plug them in, I was led to believe that they would also run on 240 volts, I am just about to open them up and have a look. Regards Marcel

Hi, I believe they were Edison, then they became Dictaphone, this is what I have read about them on the net, maybe he sold the right to the design.
