Edison Victrola Chippendale Phonograph Diamond Disk

Actually that is the volume control. It has a "sock" on the end of it. The closer it goes in the softer the music, hence the saying "Stick a sock in it!" for shut up. The speed of this maching is usually set to 80 RPM's for the thick records and with the other arm that can play the thinner records to 78 RPMS. Hope this helps.

This is not a Victrola. It is an Edison Diamond Disk phonograph. Victrolas were made only by the Victor Talking Machine Corporation of Camden, NJ (Later acquired by RCA.) The two are not interchangeable, and cannot play each others' records without special adapters.
