Edison Phonograph

[jgood]

Your machine (that is, your husband's machine) is an Edison Standard Model B. According to original sales documents, #378335 left the factory in November 1906. Your example is in its original 2-minute configuration, meaning it will play 2-minute records only. When looking for 2-minute records, don't judge them by the boxes in which they're found. These get switched all the time. Look at the records themselves - which is a good idea anyway because moldy records are worthless.

Here are a couple of free articles on the Antique Phonograph Society's website which will help you identify different types of cylinder records and the various models of the Edison Standard.

There are several other free articles on the APS site which you may find informative and useful.

Have fun with it!

Here is the part you're missing. It's the guard that goes over the gears on the left side.
