I need help to identifying this Edison disc phonograph. I got it yesterday. The phonograph is missing the metal name plate who tell me the model type and number.
This is a restoration project.

Wow, did you find that in Norway or import it? It must be quite unusual to find such a rare model there. The exterior appears to need little restoration outside of a good cleaning. Could you show us some pictures "under the hood?"

The A/B-375 is a beautiful machine. Congratulations!
The grille appears to have been replaced (they are fragile and easily damaged). You may be able to get a replacement from "Gramps."
