What model Edison diamond disc is this?

Post by Tpapp54321 »

I was looking on my local craigslist and came across this Edison. http://dayton.craigslist.org/atq/4397568697.html at first I thought it was a Edison LU-37 but after further research the grill isn't right. So what model is this?

Looks like an L-19 Louis XIV.

Definitely an L-19. Not found very often, as it was a slow seller; but, as a 'Laboratory Model', it would certainly beat the stuffing out of an LU-37…

Here is the picture lifted from the listing, adjusted so that you can actually see the machine. (NOT my listing.)

Congratulations! :D

Don't know what the interior condition is like, but if it's got a good stylus, I think the price is very good (the L-19 sold for about $300 when new).

I picked it up today for only $200! It is AWSOME it came with a lot of 20s jazz records both 78s and DD and even some 1 sided victor and columbia records. Its in very nice condition and the serial number is 93 and it came with a adapter for 78s. I'll try to post some pictures tomorrow but Im going to a wedding so if not tomorrow I will on Monday.
