Re: Edison C-4 questions
The one that I commented on was about the old post referenced to that specific set. It was offered to me and listed on the forum. When I got more photos of it--it did have R-7 right on the ID plate of the radio. I know that a tone control was an add-on and would not be closed to that. Are you planning to part with or copy the instructions or "Key?" Does anyone else have a copy of the instruction manuals for a C-4 or R-7? I have an R-7 Radio and won't give up my search for an early C-4. Thanks!

Re: Edison C-4 questions
I've made arrangements with the seller to pick this up. I'm sure I will have a lot of questions and will need assistance to get this up and running safely. Thank you to everyone for the information. Hopefully it will not require anything major to fix.

Re: Edison C-4 questions
I am so happy that you got this beauty! You either love them or don't--I LOVE THEM!!! Be sure to post a shot of it with the doors and lid open. Make sure that you rummage through the record bins under the lid. That is how I found the manual, key and a couple of needle cuts on the very first one that I owned. Regret to this day giving mine up but you have given me new hope that there are still unmolested ones in the wild. Cheers!

Re: Edison C-4 questions
Thank you Mark. I will look but there are only a few Columbia records that she said were in it. Hopefully all the parts are there. I'll post more pictures after I pick it up.

Re: Edison C-4 questions
Many Thanks from me, too--jukejunkie! If anyone looks at page 21 of this document they will see the early 3 knob radio configuration that phonogal found but that continues to elude me. Still looking for any help finding another one like that to go with the nice manual you uploaded for me. Ever thought of 3D printing the Dial-O-Matic key--it would probably sell well--HA!!phonogal wrote:Thank you so much for sharing this. Janjukejunkie wrote:Here is a zip form of the C-4 manual.

P.S. Looking forward to the R7 manual if you have it, too--Surprisingly I have all of the paperwork for my C-2 radio phono. Mark

Re: Edison C-4 questions
I had to sell my C-4 a few years ago because I bought a C-2. but I made a video of the C-4 in action on Youtube. Mark, I bet you would love to find one in this condition! The cabinet was especially perfect. Marc.

R-6 Manual Sorry it took so long and pages are a little out of order. New scanner and I am still getting used to it.
