SOLD: ORIGINAL EDISON PHONOGRAPH CRANE

Post by phonohound »

[quote][/quote]For sale is a nice, all-original Edison phonograph crane, right down to the mounting screws and horn chain. This is original equipment for the model D series before the Cygnet horns were available. Of course you can use it on earlier models too, if desired.

Asking $100+ shipping. PayPal friends and family is fine.

SOLD

Thank you

Is that for a Standard or Home or would it work with both?

I believe they're identical cranes. At least, Edison catalogs didn't differentiate them.

Thanks George. Yes, the cranes are the same. It will work on the Standard, Home, and Triumph. I'm unsure if this crane would work on a Fireside due to the top+heavy set up, which I think is why Edison offered the second crane foot option.

This is a terrific value when you consider the cost of a reproduction. Jerry B.

No, these cranes won't work on a Fireside or Gem.

I would not think it could work on a Triumph either, but I've never tried it. The Triumph crane foot as I recall is stamped with a "T" on the underside.

Hopefully someone else can as my front mount Triumph with original crane is ~5,000 miles from here. I cannot remember now if it's the foot that's stamped or the clip that supports the crane, or both. I'm assuming the "T" stands for Triumph. Either that or I have TAE's personal Trumph that he stamped with a "T" for "Tom". I guess that's probably less likely.

This pic shows what looks to be the same crane. I don't know what would be different about it.
