EDISON PHONOGRAPH
We painstakingly cleaned, polished, tweaked and restored this venerable instrument. The original quaint cabinet decal is still beautifully intact. Edison called this a "green oak" finish, though it bears a similarity to what we would call "golden oak." At the turn of the 20th century, "green oak" as the height of fashion.
Yes, this lovely decal is over a century old! Are you looking for a FIRST RATE antique entertainer? This is it! Note also the little celluloid plate below the decal, this indicates that this instrument was compatible with the language courses offered by the International Textbook Company. This firm sold sets of records and teaching aids by which to learn languages. Many Edison Phonographs were used in conjunction with these popular home study courses. No significant modifications were made to the Phonographs
.
We restored the motor plate of this machine to its original factory appearance. We removed every part, and cleaned the components individually. No slap-dash, get-it-done-quick doll-ups at phonophan -- this instrument is just as spotlessly clean as it appears. In fact, no one in his right mind would bother performing these time-consuming procedures for such a reasonably-priced machine. So, what's the deal -- are we CRAZY? Yes!
This nifty little repeating device allows you to play a few grooves of the record over again.
A genuine, ancient Edison Phonograph, and as fine an example as you are likely to find! The reproducer has been painstakingly rebuilt, tweaked and adjusted to play loud and clear. The Edison Standard plays 2-minute cylinder records.
Price: $850.00 US, with 14" historically-correct replica horn, and one Edison 2-minute cylinder record, plus shipping and handling. (NY State residents must pay sales tax, if applicable.)
