[Phono-L] Edison S-19-SM

[Ron L'Herault]

I'll second what Mike said and add that if you have the Diamond Disc
reproducer you can get replacement styli and gaskets for the rebuild from
George Vollema.  How do you know if you need new gaskets?  Blow gently into
the open end of the reproducer.  If it leaks air readily, you need new
gaskets.  How do you know if you need a new stylus?  Pick a Diamond disk
record that is reasonably shiny and let the reproducer play in the run out
area.  If you see a line scratching into the shiny flat surface, then the
diamond is bad and should be replaced.

Hi Matt,



That machine uses a diamond reproducer--so you don't have to change any
needles.  You will want to play ONLY Edison Diamond disc records on it.  If
it turns out that it needs a diamond, they are kind of pricey.  I am sure
there are people on this list that could set you up with one.  



I just did think of one thing.  Perhaps your machine came with the adaptor
to play regular 78 records.  I guess you would have to describe the
reproducer you got with it before any of us could tell you for sure what you
need.



  I have found diamond disc machines easy to work on.  Just make sure the
spring is wound down all the way before you begin doing anything!  Good luck
and have fun with it.

ello All, 
 
This is my second post, However I read with baited breath every word of the
mail 
ist.
 
I finished the restore on my Victor VV-IV. And it sounds great and looks 
onederful. Today I got a call from a friend who said he found a "Stand Up 
ictrola" Would I be interested. I said sure and when I got there I found it
to 
e a Edison S-19-SM Serial Number 3224. It winds up fine and turns. However
it 
eeds lots of TLC. I had to fork over $35 to get and I did.
 
Now my question, What type of needle does it use20and where can I get one?
Ok 
uestions. IS there anything Special I should know before I start to tear
this 
achine apart?
 
thanks in advance,
 
Matt
