This isn't an Edison...?

[phonophan79]

I have no problem with this seller, I have purchased things from this seller multiple times... but why is this product said to be an Edison phonograph?

Just so it comes up on "Edison" searches. A common eBay 'trick'.

You didn’t know about Edison’s little-known line of toy pianos?

I’ve seen plenty of episodes of ‘Victrola’ being used to label any antique phonograph, even if it wasn’t a Victor, but the Edison brand doesn’t seem to crop up as much with similar usage...

Here is a toy player piano that came with a collection of phonographs I bought.

I plug it in and nothing happens but I have done nothing to it or will...it looks all complete.

Couple of the keys are loose...

I took the back off to show you... Looks all original...

Please buy this as a project...as is where is...

Almost 20" tall and 20" wide...Around 9" deep at the bottom section.

Free shipping to the U.S.A. through FedEx on this.

Quite a complex "toy".
