It looks like it has an Edisonic reproducer on it.

Is that a weight on the top left of the horn?

No, that's the "stop" that engages with the 12/10 buttons used to set the reproducer.

If anyone here ends up with it, pm me for info on my reproduction grill cloth.

It's interesting that the listing says it's a "BC-34" (Baby Console) when the ID plate says it's a "C-2" (Long-Playing Console #2). It's been refinished.
The Edisonic reproducer would be correct for this. This model was produced for less than a year between 1926-27.

You're absolutely correct, Bob.

It is indeed a 2-C Long Playing console, just to be clear.

It's missing the Long Play reproducer, but retains the appropriate gearing.

Also missing: the central decorative piece on the grille...
