Looking for manuals/scans/copies

Post by alang »

I am looking to complete some of my phonographs with manuals or at least copies or scans of the original manuals. I hope that someone on this forum may have one or more of them and be willing to share or sell.

I am looking for manuals for:

- Bing Pigmyphone

- Edison Home Model E

- Edison universal electro motor for cylinder machines (maybe included in some other manual?)

- Columbia Grafonola Console Model 239 (or any console model. I can't believe that the 1918 Grafonola manual that is out there is the only one Columbia ever made)

- HMV Table Top Model No.1a ( or HMV No.1 or HMV No.IV, should be close enough)

I would really appreciate if anyone would be willing to share. I own a few original manuals that I would be happy to share as well (first model VV-IX, Columbia 27.50 relabeled to 32.50, Ultona).
Thanks
Andreas

Please, would anyone be willing to share any of these manuals, or maybe point me into the right direction? Most of these machines seem quite common, so I can't believe that there are no surviving manuals.
I noticed in an older post that MordEth tried to start a manual/catalog scan collection. Has this ever materialized or are the only ones those under Archives?
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks
Andreas
