What's it worth? - Edison Standard ~1902?

[donniej]

It's an "A" or "B" and has the scroll type logo on the case. Cosmetically it and it's horn look great. The wood is excellent, as is the original flowers on the horn. The horn crane appears complete, it's the type with the foot that goes under the phonograph. The sellers Grandmother bought it in 1902. It has the 2/4 minute gearing but the gear cover is missing, as is one of the reproducers. The winding key is also missong, the belt is missing and the main spring is broken. It comes with 50 assorted records, of which at least 20 are trash.
What would you offer?
What do you think it's worth?

Thank you.

Some pictures would help in evaluating it.

There are a couple of fairly obvious differences between the A and B models. One is that the case of the B is taller than the A: the other is that the A has an external speed control, while the B does not (with the exception of the ICS version).

A good resource is the "Collector's Guide to the Edison Standard" on the APS website.

Off the top of my head.... $300-350, considering the spring, belt, crank and who knows what else...
