FOR SALE: Edison Gem C with 2&4 Gearing - $500

Post by Jerry B. »

The Gem C is one of the more unusual Gems and I'm fortunate to have an extra one. The Gem C was originally a two minute machine but this one has the extra four minute gearing. It plays great and comes with a C reproducer. The price is $500. I am happy to offer free delivery to Union or APS but postage is at cost. It goes to the first person to PM "SOLD!". No horn.

If properly maintained and adjusted, absolutely. Edison would not have sold a machine that didn't play a whole record, or if they did - this would be an extremely rare model since nobody would have bought them.

I hear the C is thought to be more difficult to fined than the Gem D. I have a C and it plays a 4 min record just fine.

It plays fine through a four minute cylinder but with little to spare at the end. We usually have a family reunion around the 4th of July and I take a Gem B with additional gearing. It plays through any four minute cylinder with a full winding. Jerry Blais
