The story is more entertaining than the phonograph. There should be a Jerry Springer sub-forum for these types of stories. 8-) 8-) To bad. It looked like a nice early machine.

Story from seller:
"Edison Phonograph in pieces but all there. Wacked out X girlfriend went nuts and kicked the legs out from under the case. I kept the phonograph ... sent that pinhead down the road shortly after this happened."
"The phonograph† is not of any commercial value."
Thomas Alva Edison - Comment to his assistant, Samuel Insull.

"No one needs a Victrola XX, a Perfected Graphophone Type G, or whatever you call those noisy things."
