Edison Fireside Phonograph
The "Cygnet" (swan's neck) horn was an Edison innovation that got the horn up, over the top of the machine. The rule in acoustic phonographs is "bigger horn, bigger sound," so this is a great advantage for those who really want to listen to and enjoy their records. The "king" of Cygnet horns is the wooden Cygnet -- in this instance, a spectacular solid oak masterpiece. And the sound --- incomparable!
The horb has original factory paint, gold pin-striping and decals.
It is highly unusual to find these horns with original paint,
after more than a century.
The original Edison horn decals.
The quaint oak cabinet. The instrument is spotless.We have meticulously "detailed" everything! Our level of work requires us to take the machine down to its tiniest pieces and address each one individually. What do you get from other dealers? A couple squirts of WD-40 and a quick coating of shoe polish!
Beautifully restored, scrupulously clean, completely tuned and adjusted. Original horn finish and decals. Our spic-and-span Edison is a far cry from the filthy, badly regulated trash you see available in online auctions. The neat, compact oak cabinet can be closed to keep out dust. In short -- buy from phonophan, we have 54 years of experience, we actually know what we're talking about, we don't just talk the talk -- we sweat all the details. Phonophan gives you the flat-out best service on the planet!
Price: $1250.00 US, equipped with a genuine Edison "Diamond B" reproducer (plays 4-minute only), including two 4-minute record, plus shipping and handling. (NY State residents must pay sales tax, if applicable.)
