EDISON TRIUMPH PHONOGRAPH, MODEL "E"
You see here the final innovation of the Edison Phonograph -- the formidable and exclusive Triumph, that only the wealthy could afford at the time, surmounted by the correct No. 11 Cygnet horn, and equipped with a large-diameter reproducer (see choices below), considered one of the finest reproducing instruments that Edison ever made. We stress the "correct" No. 11 horn because this eleven-panel horn was properly sized to the imposing presence of the Triumph. Beware online auction sellers and other "benders of the truth" who offer Triumphs fitted with the smaller No. 10 horn because they do not know or do not care that the combination is inaccurate. We, dear clients, are selling history, NOT convenient revisionism!
Original decal preserved on the professionally restored horn.
Every single centimeter of this spectacular instrument has been scrupulously restored -- the cabinet, even the mechanical works have been returned to their precise factory appearance. Our professional pin striping renders a glamorous appearance. The instrument is shown here equipped with the highly-coveted Model "O" reproducer, capable of playing both 2 and 4 minute records.
In fact the ability to play either 2 or 4 minute records (or BOTH!) is integral to the Triumph Model E. This gives the buyer the greatest latitude to enjoy whatever music they choose -- the earlier 2-minute (in duration) "wax" cylinders, or the later 4-minute celluloid cylinders, which a literally indestructible. The Triumph is driven by a triple-spring motor of great power. The mechanism is spotless, and as perfect as the day it left Orange, NJ.
