There are two Edison diamond machines in town here, about 300 feet away to be more accurate. One is the W19 and the other is a C 19, Thomas Edison Inc. Orange NJ model.

I have listened to both, the W19 with a 1/4" record, 50426-R titled "The Whistler and his Dog" by the New York Military Band. I listened to 80215-L, "Down by the Old Mill Stream", index no. 11 on the C19.

There are piles of edison records at the location.
