SOLD! : Edison Fireside B Project - $285

Post by Jerry B. »

I have more projects than I can finish before Union so I thought I'd offer this to someone that likes a project. It's a Model B Fireside. The finish needs to be cleaned but should be good. The paint and striping should also clean up nicely. I have done nothing with this machine except to give the crank a few turns and the motor seems OK. The handle on the lid is a bit funky and one of the forked pieces to hold the lid is missing one tab. The reproducer is untested. It should clean up to be a nice machine. I took lots of photos but feel free to ask questions by PM. The price is $285 and my preference is to deliver to Union or APS at no cost. I would also mail at the cost of a new carton and actual postage. Please don't ask for cost from your zip code but please add another $85. I'll return the difference and include any receipts. Friended PayPal or your check is fine.

Thanks, Jerry Blais

I can get it all the way to Union (Chicago) and a friend from Tennessee will be at Union so it's possible. Jerry

Hello,
Im sorry if this is a silly question but is there anything missing from the machine?
I see the bolt holes for the arm? for the horn hookup?
EDIT** looked it up... I see what it needs now...**
I would like it shipped to NY 11754 if you feel ok boxing it. I am not sure if it has been claimed but I am interested.
Kirk

ADDED* Does it play 4 minute or 2?

A Firrside B is a 4-min player. There are threads describing how to make a B into a 2&4 player. The Diamond B will always be a 4-min indestructible reproducer. Hope this helps. Jerry
