Re: Edison Opera database
Thanks for posting! I actually found yours in an older post on the forum when I was searching for data. The database is being updated steadily. The highest serial number is now up to 4675.

Re: Edison Opera database
Thanks so much for all that data. I was unaware of that School Phonograph. Can you tell me whether it's a 10-panel or 11-panel horn, and if you have the original stand?
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Re: Edison Opera database
Please post in this thread with information on Operas you own or have seen:
- Serial number - 3286
- Wood (mahogany or oak) - oak
- Owner (information will be kept private) me
- Notes (any details worth recording - ESPECIALLY if it is marked 'Concert.")
My Opera had been restored sloppily by an amateur in the past, so it needed a refinish of cabinet and motor board. It came out beautifully!

Re: Edison Opera database
Thanks for the info. It's interesting that oak and mahogany seem to be pretty randomly mixed, except for a seeming block from 3188 to 3301. At least for the moment, there are only oak entries. But that could change as more gaps are filled. One thing that is clear: mahogany tops oak by very close to 2 to 1.
