FOR SALE: Barn Find Edison Class M Complete - Sold

[51imperial]

I have come across a barn find Edison Class M. This is complete and in reasonably good shape but obviously needs restored. All of the moving parts are free and move - it is not rusted up. It has the reproducer and recorder and the listening tube. It is mounted on a table which appears original. I believe it was like the one shown on the Galileo museum website. exhibits.museogalileo.it inv 1506. Everything appears there except the legs. The serial # is 9569. I am putting this out on the forum to see if there is any interest before listing on eBay. I have a lot of photos I can send if you contact me and provide your email address. I do not know what this is really worth so I am looking for comments, advice, and serious offers.

You may note that I am new to the forum. I was active with phonographs about 15 years ago but have not really actively pursued them recently. I did join the forum to find info and a possible buyer for this machine. The machine is real, as described and has been sitting in a garage for the last 50 years.All of your inputs are appreciated.

Is the rest of it - the case, motor, etc - missing?

The windings of the motor armature and the commutator can be seen in the enlarged photo.

The motor is complete and free. The table is the case. I think the table is original, it looks like the one in the Galileo museum. Basically an electric machine on a treadle base. It is all there except the legs. The screw holes can be seen where the legs were, and one drawer has wooden cylinder pegs.
