EDISON PHONOGRAPH
We painstakingly cleaned, polished, tweaked and cajoled this venerable instrument back to life. Original cabinet finish and decal. This finish was known as "green oak" at the time, but we are more likely to view it today as "golden" or "honey" oak. At the turn of the 20th century, home furnishings were conceived in the "green oak" finish, just as decades later the "limed oak" finish would become popular.
We thoroughly and professionally restored the mechanical parts. At phonophan we scrupulous clean and polish, adjust and lubricate. We take everything down to individual parts and attend to each one -- which is what the sellers on eBay CAN'T and DON'T do! 40 years of experience means that the instrument you buy is factory correct! Our black lacquer finish, with gilt decoration, precisely replicates the Edison factory process.
The decal, likely the most highly-coveted decal in Edison history, is original and lovely. These pictures speak for themselves.
It plays 2-minute cylinder records with brightness and clarity. A genuine, ancient Edison Phonograph, and a top notch example.
Price: Equipped to play 2-minute records (Model C reproducer)-- $1750.00 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.)
