Any news at all? Every time I open this forum, I hope to see some good news about this lost machine.

What's the tracking number? I may be able to trace for you. PM me the number if you would like me to check. Did she send postal service?m_nakamura wrote: Tue Jun 03, 2025 12:27 pm Nope., my auntie checked the tracking again and it still says it exited the country May 5th.

They work without horns, but they would be very quietm_nakamura wrote: Wed Apr 16, 2025 7:44 pm Hmmm. That's cool!! Would it work without the horn or do I need it to play?
The thing the cylinders go on looks much larger than what I've seen on the internet!![]()

Nope. Nothing.
The last update was the 2 boxes exiting the country on May 5th.

Re: Edison Cylinder Machine
Well... Sometimes and especially if the packages are heavy, or randomly, the customs stop something for inspection. In my experience this can take two or three months to arrive. I once suffered one of these with 78s from the US, and another time was with springs and needles from the UK, here near me, some 1000 away... But ..!
