Too bad  I don't have a machine to put it on. Wasn't someone on the board 
looking for  an Edison Needle Cut reproducer?? This one is brass, not pot 
metal!

Hi John,
 
This is the reproducer that came on the "uncatalogued" Edison  needle-cut 
portable that was produced prior to the P-1 and P-2  models.  I have one of 
these machines with that exact reproducer and it  really is beautiful with  a 
very heavy nickel finish just as you see in the  offering on eBay.  It's 
interesting that such a beautiful reproducer was  placed on a machine with a 
really junky pot metal tonearm.  It appears  to me that the machine itself 
was made by the Prime Manufacturing Co.  and  Edison must have supplied only 
the reproducer.  I've never before seen one  in the original box.
