Contrary to what it says in the video box above, it isn't an "Edison Graphophone". Edison didn't produce Graphophones, the American Graphophone Company did (and it's corporate antecedents and descendants). Edison products were called 'Phonographs'. Interesting that the video briefly shows a black gutta percha reproducer on the Type B in one cut. That reproducer would be incorrect on a Type B, which was fitted with an aluminum reproducer.
