I recently got my Edison Standard B phonograph working, seems to be at the right speed, oiled it up. The only problem I am having is that the cylinder record plays for about 5 second, then skips and repeats one small part of the record until i lift the arm. It seems like the entire arm is not advancing properly. ANy advice? I don't want to damage the cylinder, and really want to get it working!

take off the nickel cap covering the feedscrew, then inspect it carefully... it could be damaged. I hope I'm wrong though.

Do you own any other cylinders, and if so, have you tried to play them to see if they skip around the same time frame? If you get the same result, it may be a bad thread on the feedscrew. They are extremely delicate and a small "bump" can create a problem. It also could be as simple as a bad groove in the cylinder. Keep us posted!
