Reproducer Arm is too low. c250

[brian1]

(Apologies if I could not find this info in the forum search)

I have an Edison C250 in wonderful shape.  However...  When I 'lift' the reproducer arm via the lever, it's not quite high enough to clear the diamond disk record.  So my guess is that the entire 'horn(?)' assembly needs to be raised at least a quarter inch or more.

Is this easily done? 
Or am I in the wrong ballpark?

It's a little tricky, but you can adjust the horn height: I believe the instruction manuals originally provided with the phonograph gave directions on this. I think someone has made reprints of these manuals.

The 'ideal' height should be such that, when the reproducer is lowered onto the record, the limit pin should float halfway between the bottom of the loop and the bottom of the reproducer body.

Good luck!

Thank you. I found the manual. And that seems to do the trick of raising it up so that the needle will now clear the album.
