my grandmother has one of these,shes never used it not sure where she got it. i decided to look at it but have never messed with one of these before so found your video very helpful. the membrain is broke and the needle and crank are gone so nothing i can really do with it but was fun to poke at
Hi Brett, I inherited one of these phonographs from a family member who passed not too long ago, and have enjoyed listening to her collection of records. I'm fairly sure it's the same model you have here. Unfortunately, it was a little banged around in transit when I moved, and that rod in front of the horn has come loose out from the bottom where it holds into the wood. Do you have any videos showing how to get that piece to sit back in there? I'm assuming that's connected to the lever that controls the reproducer, because the reproducer won't move when I turn it. Though the platter still spins as it should so hopefully this isn't anything I can't fix. I've been subscribed for a while, and took a look around your channel for help, but you have a massive collection of videos. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
First, take the reproducer off and lay it sideways in a safe place. Then make sure the handle is laying down, in the off position. Then remove the grill. Then gently, but firmly lift up on the horn, and pop the rod into the hole. Once you get it back in the hole, you’re going to have to reset the reproducer height. I have videos on how to set the height.
First, you have to have a long play reproducer, next you have to have the little gear change thing on the side of the motor, it should say 12 inch… Which is for long play.
Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie! Good sounding record!
That sounds amazing, thanks Brett

You could start looking on eBay for parts…

I have a rather strange question, do Amberola’s have the same or similar sound volume as a Diamond Disc Phonograph?
No, because of the different sizes of the horns. The one that most sounds like a diamond disc is the Amberola 1-A.

Hi Brett. How do you play an Edison Diamond Disc long play record please?
First, you have to have a long play reproducer, next you have to have the little gear change thing on the side of the motor, it should say 12 inch… Which is for long play.
I'd suggest working on your mic. At the 4min mark, we can't hear you.
Could be an internet-buffering problem caused by low download speeds.
