For Sale: Edison Fireside Model A Phonograph W/ Cygnet Horn

Post by kirtley2012 »

A very nice machine with some slightly unusual features

It has an original 10 panel cygnet horn (original decal, but fitted with a decal for a No.11, very unusual), and a model K reproducer.
The machine is a factory cygnet, but it has a dealer modification to give the machine an external speed control, ordinarily the speed control is enclosed inside the cabinet.

The back bracket and crane are new reproductions, original horn and all original base, including original lid.

It's a great phonograph, but I've two cygnet equipped machines and the other one gets more use than this one.

I'd much rather the machine be collected from North Shields, UK, which I know is tricky right now so maybe something shipping wise could be figured out, send me a message if interested and require shipping.

Asking price is £800, but I'd also be interested in hearing of part exchange deals for things such as a HMV 163, a Victor Orthorphonic machine, a HMV 511, HMV Lumiere machines, External horn Pathé machines, or an EMG 2 spring soundbox.

Any questions feel free to ask

Ah... it was the fact that it still said "For sale" and not "Sold" that threw me.....
