Thanks, I shall try to look at that. Certainly some of the cylinders are a bit warped, but my Fireside plays them well so I think the problem must be with the Triumph. Tom

Sorry, slightly revisiting old ground here, but could anyone with access to an Edisonic reproducer upload a photo of the spring loaded stylus bar? I can't see a spring on mine and wonder whether it is missing? Then again as it is a factory refit perhaps the stylus bar wasn't upgraded? With much thanks, Tom.

I have an Edison Triumph model A with 2/4 minute gearing. Does anyone have any tips on adjustments to remove pitch wobble from playback? The problem is particularly obvious on instrumental tracks. I have refitted the belt and have a new stylus on my diamond b reproducer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have recently purchased a Triumph with diamond b reproducer. Unfortunately I do not have a cygnet horn. I understand that the correct horn would be an 11 panel but wonder if a 10 panel with standard crane would also fit? Cygnets are very hard to come by in the UK so a 10 panel may be my only option. Any advice would be great.

Thanks for the advice. I am glad all is not lost! I have taken all the cylinders out of their boxes and will keep an eye on them and clean as appropriate.

There's one on ebay.com at the moment. Looks like it needs some TLC though!
Good luck in your search... Tom.

I have just started making an inventory of my cylinders and found to my horror that several that were perfect have started to dull over with mold. Is there any way of stopping this once it has started? Can the mold be polished off in any way? Will the mold spread from one cylinder to another if played after each other or by being in close proximity? Finally, does mold affect all types of cylinder? Really would appreciate some advice.

Thanks for info. On the printed label the number is simply 12012. The inside etched number is 12012 S-1-3. Interesting that this label is a mistake. Will this affect the value adversely?

I notice in an earlier thread that someone was talking about 12" discs. I have a copy of 30001-L which is, I believe the first of the 12 Long play Diamond Discs. I am curious as to why the label states 24 minutes just as on the 10" Long Play. The actual playing time is nearer 40mins and that is how the records are commonly defined. Was Edison just cutting down on typeset costs?

Thanks Larry,
I have today sent the reproducer to Expert Stylus to have the diamond point checked for wear. I may try to check the gaskets when I get it back. I imagine I would have to get new gaskets from the States.

Thanks for clearing that up, I am not too well versed in how these reproducers are constructed. I am not sure I am brave enough at the moment to take it apart but am delighted to have found out more about it.

From what I can see the diaphragm looks to be cork and the outer ring which I presume is the gasket is reddish brown rubber. I have also noticed G and P inscribed on the underside rim of the top section. Tom

Thanks for info. I attach a picture of my reproducer as suggested. The serial number is A231141NS. That this is a remanufactured earlier reproducer does seem to make sense. Attachments:

I have an Edison W19 which I have gradually been amassing information on as it is quite rare in the UK. It appears to be an early 1919 model as it has many similarities to the W250 which were later dispensed with on this model. At some stage my machine was upgraded to play the long play records. As well as a long play reproducer I have a standard one with NS after the serial number. Am I right in thinking this is a new standard or edisonic reproducer? The serial number begins with an A which confused me at first as I thought it was therefore an early one.
