I suspect it is more about where you are located. I for one would love to own your Edison C-4. If you were closer to me I would have already bought it!

It is awfully tempting, and not all that far off. if only I had not dropped $10,000 at Stanton's last month...

So what's another $575? That's peanuts! :D

It's certainly easy to drop a lot of cash at Stantons in a very short time. All you have to do is to hold your hand in the air until Steve tells you to put it down. Uncle Vanya, that was quite a haul indeed.

HMV, I can't understand why you haven't sold that machine yet. I am into radios among other things and I do understand the work and expense that went into the electrical restoration. I would love to own that machine and it would be an easy trip to pick it up, but there is the matter of money and space. I'm trying to stay away from buying any more floor model machines because of the space required. I do wish you luck in selling it. Somewhere out there there has to be someone who desperately wants one of those but doesn't know about yours or maybe someone with a clean cabinet who needs the guts for it. I hope it works out for you.

Jim

$550 is the new price. I will remind everyone that the radio chassis alone was $500 to refurbish, pickup rebuild and price of the machine notwithstanding.... :?

Great guns you are making this hard! How utterly tempting, particularly since I picked up a pretty clean cabinet back in early November. I simply spent too much at Stanton's. If only I could unload a couple of my surplus machines, say a Home D, air an Amberola 75...

I suspect that someone will snap this up, but if not, I should have recovered financially after the turn of the year.

What a deal... but hard to get from North Carolina. Isn't the C-4 the machine with the explosive sound? :lol:
