FOR SALE: Edison Opera + 74 cylinders - $3000

[lakeliving]

I have had the Edison Opera for 21 years. When my wife's uncle passed away we were given the player and 74 cylinders. The player does work. I do know that one guard is missing and two columns are missing. The horn has a split and the uncle put wood contact paper on it. That is all I know about it. My wife and I have retired to a smaller home and do not have room anymore. If you need a different pic or have a question just let me know. I do not at this time have a list of recordings. No lids for sleeves and most bottoms are gone.
We are located outside of Branson, Mo. Thanks for looking....

I believe that would be an easy project machine worth picking up if someone was interested. I have an Opera and say the horn is not original, and I believe the horn elbow is not either. Good replica horns and elbows can be had, for a price. The missing cover could be replicated if a spare original can't be found. The auto stop pointer is missing, but replicas exist. Some potential buyers might want to see the motor and a closer look at the crank. My purchase decision would not be heavily influenced by the record titles.

The elbow profile should resemble this.
