Edison 5" Cylinder Phonograph
By Martin Anderson

Hi Jody,  I have a second project to ask about.  I have been given an
Edison Cylinder Player.  So far it looks like it needs a drive belt.

This machine was built in New Jersey and sold by the Theodore F. Bentel
Co. at 121 6th street in Pittsburgh.  I am looking for any information
on this machine or the company in Pittsburgh.  The cylinders are
4-1/4" wide and 5" in diameter.  It is very large and comes in a case
that makes it look like a portable sewing machine.  Again thanks again
for this great communication format.
