phonogfp Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 That's a cool attachment, Rod. As far as I know, Blackman was the only U.S. company to offer something like this. Henry Seymore offered a similar attachment for the early Gem in the UK (see Antique Phonograph Gadgets, Gizmos & Gimmicks, Fig. 2-31). The British Lambert Company catalogued another attachment that used its proprietary floating reproducer (see Antique Phonograph Accessories & Contraptions, Fig. 2-76). Bettini offered the odd Type "V" arm in the U.S. in 1902, but it was, "For those who wish to use the new style Columbia Recorder on Edison machines, in connection with Bettini arms..." (See A World of Antique Phonographs, Fig. 3-43.) Thanks for posting this great Blackman device! George P. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oceanlinerfanatic191 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Did they make anything similar so that you can play a Edison reproducer on a Columbia machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
