FOR SALE: Edison Concert, various and cylinders - INQUIRE

Post by EdisonWizard »

Hey everyone!

It’s been a long 2 years or so, 2 hurricanes…me, the wife, and 2 kids living in a camper for 7 months in the driveway while our home was repaired….then a freeze and flood! With all that being said, my collection survived without any issues except a couple cylinders. This has made me reflect on my collection and the size and I have already lost some very nice concert cylinders due to mold or cracks from the storm…so I’ve decided to part with my concert machine and the rest of the cylinders, I have had immense joy from it, and I’m hoping someone out of a disaster prone area can enjoy and take care of it as I have. I just don’t want something to happen to it as I have some good memories tied to it from a good friend and his generosity.

I’ll be posting more pictures after while when I’m able to get everything set up, and particular pictures can be sent on request.

If just the machine is desired, it comes with an original seamless brass horn, a Model C converted to play like a D and plays 2 minute cylinders very well, the small mandrel (currently looking for it in the boxes), the small conversion carriage with original shaver and original cutting knife, the concert mandrel and concert carriage again with the cutting knife and blade intact, original crank, original Automatic Reproducer and Recorder all rebuilt with glass diaphragms and new needle/cutting stylus, and all extra parts to change from concert to standard cylinders. I rather not ship, so if you’re coming through Louisiana or Texas I’d be more than happy to meet with you or someone you send or know.

Other items that can be included if desired:

Large original brass horn for floor crane
Original floor crane for horn (folds up)
Various Edison, Columbia, French, blanks, and reproduction 5” cylinders. Some mint condition to excellent and some poor/moldy/cracked cylinders (very sad cause some of the ones that cracked from temperature change were mint 😭)
Maybe something else as I go thru things.

I’ll take PayPal F&F, or whatever method you prefer. Can also FaceTime if needed as well. Please inquire for price as it may differ depending on what’s all wanted.

Thank you.

PS- it does have the original lid.

Edit: added couple more pics I had.

You may want to state if the lid is missing or not. (Forgive me if it's in your description and I missed it. I do that sometimes...)

Best of luck on your sale! A very nice example!!

Oh my apologies! It is not missing and has original lid! I’m going to take more detailed pictures today in good light! I forgot to also mention the reproducers have a glass case they sit in when not in use. Thank you!

To The Top!

Price: $2500 includes: everything I have for the Concert machine. I was given an awesome opportunity to own this, and I want to do the same to someone else. I’m just afraid to have it all ruined if we get another storm. This includes:

-Machine, the conversion parts to go to 2 min, reproducer/recorder everything
-Large brass horn
-Floor crane
-Small original seamless horn
-Small parts
-ALL of my concert cylinders.
