FOR SALE: Edison Opera + 74 cylinders - $3000

Post by 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....

If you are looking for numbers 4800 and above I do not have any. If you want I can list all of the number but not to sell cylinders separately.

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.
