Sorry, Query again.

[tony1952]

I am waiting for my first phonograph, Edison Standard D with H reproducer from ebay.

I have queries.

1. As I have seen video in Youtube, Reproducer H for 4 minutes can play celluloid 2 minutes record. Which one(Reproducer C or H) is better to play celluloid 2 minutes record?

2. Can I play 2 minutes wax/Gold Moulded cylinder record with H reproducer?

3. If I change carriage arm(if possible), can I use Diamond Reproducre B, or C for Blue Amberol record?

Thanks,

Any comments would be highly appreciated.

Yes, you can play 2 minute celluloid cylinders with an H reproducer: but a C would probably be better.

However, I would not recommend using an H on 2 minute wax cylinders.

If you have an arm with a horizontal carriage that will fit a Diamond reproducer, the Diamond B is the one to use. The A and C were designed for use in Amberola phonographs, and have necks which point backwards.

With a Diamond B, unless your machine has a Cygnet horn and crane, it would be best to use a 45 degree adaptor between the reproducer neck and horn: otherwise, the angle is too extreme.
