Edison C-150 - Chicago CL - $100

Post by FrankH »

I have no relationship whatsoever with the seller, just noticed this on Chicago CL. The cabinet has apparently been refinished; the ad claims the reproducer is rebuilt (or at least in good condition) and supposedly everything works. For $100, not a bad deal?

Very good deal. My C-150 is my primary DD player. These days, a DD reproducer with a good stylus is worth close to $100 by itself!

Is there any difference in mechanism or
horn size between C-150 and C-250/C-19?

Or are these machines differentiated only
by the accompanying furniture they are contained within?

Thanks,

Chuck

The C-250 / C-19 horn is bigger than the 150 series, yes.

Thanks Sean!

That was my hunch, but I needed to ask just
to make sure.

The C150 would also have the single spring motor and storage for ~ 40 records. The 250 has the double spring, storage for 100 records.
