SOLD: Edison Maroon Gem - $600

Post by Phono-Phan »

I have for sale a nice Edison Maroon Gem. It has a nice working K reproducer. The color and decals on the case are great. The cover has a new decal. The motor runs smooth. It is missing the gear cover and horn. Asking price is $600 plus actual shipping charges.

May I ask if this runs smoothly enough so that musical records sound good? I have an otherwise very nice Red Gem, but apparently its governor bearings are worn out, causing the thing to "judder" enough to make sustained notes intolerable to hear. It's so shaky that only speaking records (Uncle Josh, let's say) are listenable. A video or audio demo would be awesome.

I will have to try a music cylinder on it. I am not sure how to upload a demo on it. I don't have a video camera or smart phone.
