Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

I just bought an Edison Diamond disc player at the local thrift store this weekend

68.115.204.170

Paid $200. It's a little rough and is missing the resonator (which I scored for $46.00 on e-bay yesterday). It's a 250, which was a high end machine. Came with about 40 discs, mostly in high grade.

The diamond disc was kind of like betamax, a better sounding system with inferior software selection and incompatible tech. Part of what made it better was the diamond needle instead of the steel groove files the other companies used. So well built, my collector uncle told me he'd never encountered one that didn't still work 90 years on.
