Re: Edison ?
To bad, I really like that model. $100 sounds like a good price for a project piece for sure. Good luck, keep us posted and take some pictures!
In short, is not liberty the freedom of every person to make full use of his faculties, so long as he does not harm other persons while doing so?

Re: Edison ?
Well the shop sent me an Email advising they are hoping to get $170 for this machine. They decided to let it sit for several more weeks and get back to me on my offer.
Responded due to the condition of this machine I must remain at $100.........I see this project machine slipping away
Cheers

Re: Edison ?
I made myself a promise years ago never to get emotionally attached to an item I was looking at buying. That philosophy has served me well. If $100 is your limit, walk away. I think you are being too generous already.dutchman wrote:Well the shop sent me an Email advising they are hoping to get $170 for this machine.

You know damn well that as soon as you cave and overspend on this that there will be another that is a far better buy. It's part of my theory of collecting relativity. The other part says that long desired elusive stuff always and only pops up when you really, really, really can't afford it!

Re: Edison ?
I hear you my friend, your analysis is right on the money. Thought saving this Edison would be my last project before getting out of the hobby. Of course I said that 40+ machines ago..
Thanks for the input.. Cheers

Re: Edison ?
I actually went over there today, because I live right outside of town, and it was a converter for lateral discs. Unfortunately, the arm for the converter was pot metal and was corroded and broken, thus likely unable to work. Definitely a cool and possibly rare converter!dutchman wrote:Well a drawer explains the center door pull..Yep that cabinet appears to have a few issues. There is something sitting behind the grille on the left side which looks like a reproducer....Appreciate the replies.. Cheers and have a good weekend.

Re: Edison ?
I drove down there several weeks ago to look at this thing (1:45 from Warrenton). Yep that machine definitely had a hard life. Thanks and have a good weekend.....
