For Sale: Edison Home Model D -$400 - or reasonable offer

Post by dzavracky »

For sale is the Edison Home I restored last year. The motor runs strong, quietly, and without any warble. It is a little noisy when running in 4 min mode, but isn't loud enough to be heard over the motor. It comes with a Model C reproducer. The case has holes drilled in the back for a cygnet back bracket. The upper casting broke in two places but was repaired as can be seen in the photos. I put new rubber feet on the bottom of the case as well. It has a new brass bearing, and I installed a new end bearing for the mandrel made out of titanium.

I have it listed for sale locally with a large searchlight horn and the crane. Here on the forum I am listing it without the crane and horn for $400 + shipping. (I do not want to ship the horn). I am also open to reasonable offers!

Feel free to ask any questions.

David.

People are very fed up with the shipping cost anymore. I'm sure that comes into play.

Good luck with your sale.

A broken casting on any phonograph, in spite of being repaired, is an important consideration for most prospective buyers. This alone would be a major drawback to purchasing this from my own perspective and I would suspect some others as well. This, coupled with the shipping cost for a fairly hefty machine like this, are likely the reasons that no one has expressed interest. The Edison Home D is also fairly common to find in decent condition for a price near your asking price without concerns with a broken/repaired casting. My apologies for the candid comments. I do hope that you are able to sell it as I'm sure you put a good amount of work into this.

Doug, I appreciate the comments. I was prepared for there to be so little interest mostly because of the broken casting. If you remember I purchased a replacement casting from you awhile back… but I couldn’t close the lid on my machine! And around that time I was able to fix the original one so I just kept it on it. I will probably just hang onto this one… I put a lot of hours into fixing (and breaking :? :roll: this machine). Thanks again for the comment!

David
