I picked up a IV at a local flea market for the amazing price of $20! :D It needs LOTS of TLC.It needs cleaning up and an Exhibition soundbox.I cleaned out the horn area where I discovered that a mouse made his home.There were dust bunnies,and pieces of newspaper,thread and yarn!I didn't let anyone in my family know because they'd yell,"You have ENOUGH machines!"Oh,well! :lol: BTW;my IV dates from 1914 the serial number is 152438 E.edisonplayer
