Congrats, and enjoy! - Bruceīy Jim Patrick - (2) '26's - Bartow, FL on Thursday, J01:43 pm: That's the way I moved my Edison Amberola 30, which has the same basic sound mechanism, but is a lot smaller than your new machine. My 2¢ - keep the console vertical, and carefully pad the horn and reproducer to keep them from slamming against their end stops. All Edison machines with internal horns pivot those horns during operation along with the reproducer arm. The safest way is to leave it upright.īy Bruce Spainhower on Thursday, J01:26 pm:īob - Here's a good link to the innards of a Diamond Disc machine. If you've oiled it there is the risk of the oil coming back out the oil tubes & creating some stains when you lay it on it's side. I have a 1918 model & I would recommend putting some packing material in around the turntable & works (after removing the head) & then strapping the lid down to hold it closed. It makes the cabinet lighter and easier to move.īy Mike Saltsgaver on Thursday, J01:18 pm: I've never owned an Edison machine but whenever I have transported Victor Victrolas, I remove the works, pick-up, gooseneck on the tone-arm, etc. Going to get a console Edison & need some helpful hints on transporting.Ĭould the console lay on it's back side without damaging the mechanism ? Should the console be transported upright ? Any packing needed to stabilize innards ? We all have other period related hobbies.
