Edison Triumph with Cygnet in Ellington CT

Post by oldphonographsteve »

Well, this is quite a nice one! It comes with a cylinder storage cabinet and everything, but the seller seems to be hinting that they will part out this beautiful machine if it doesn't sell! :evil:

Nice machine, especially with the rare 11 panel Cygnet horn. Somebody should grab this. When the seller says they have an offer of $900.00, I hope this is not a back door auction. With what this machine has, and complete, the asking price is well worth it.

I emailed the seller several days ago and did not get a response. I also note that they were planning to accept an offer on May 10, which was 2 days ago, but the post is still up...

Looks to be a model F as it has the Edison signature script on the back

Not a model F, it has the on / off switch in the left front corner. It's common to have the script on the back side of models E's also.

Apparently, they were going to accept an existing offer of $900 on 5/10, so it may have been sold by now.

I sent them an email as well: we shall see if we hear any further.

Definitely a model E Triumph according to the pictures.

I paid $1000 for the Triumph E that I bought from Jerry Donnell in 2010.I remember he slathered grease and oil to free the mandrel which was frozen up.When Tim Fabrizio restored it for me one of the things he did was put in a new mandrel bushing.edisonplayer

Received word from the seller that the machine has been sold already. I hope that it goes to a good home!
