Value of an Edison C450 diamond disk

[Chilesave]

Can anyone shed some light on what the value of an edison C450 diamond disk machine would be in today's market. It is in unrestored, dirty but not damaged, condition. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks,

A console C-450 sold on live auctions for $400. Jerry

Shame you're not in Australia. One sold on ebay recently for twice that price.

It's my impression that the entire series of Diamond Disk machines is much more appreciated outside the United States than by US collectors. Jerry B.

Well, considering that they're pretty rare outside the US......

I dont think DDs are rare at all in Australia. I think you'd find we were Edisons 2nd biggest DD market next to USA, and Edison dumped machines on TAE Ltd in Kent St Sydney by the boat load throughout production
