William and Mary W-250 or early W-19. A good player, some say even better than the Chippendales, but also massive in size. You'll need a new grill but it looks otherwise OK.
Like anything else, price is a factor. How much?

Re: What do you guys think about this Edison
I would personally pass at that price in that condition. Maybe $200 if everything else looks good.
It will not be easy to find a new grill. They are made of sheets of thin veneer and break off in layers quite easily over the years.

I think I'd be tempted if it had some good 51000- 52000 dance band records in it.

I'll second Gramps Treasures. He has made two grills for me, one a missing Edison B19 grill , and currently making up a duplicate of a mangled up, off-brand Humanola grill. Very reasonable great service. Hope you can talk the owner down on the price.
