I knew one dealer who used to call table top disc machines "dog coffins"... ;)

Nice machines. I have a soft spot in my heart (head :D ) for A250s.

After where this thread has gone, I'm not sure if I should continue collecting big or small machines. :lol:

My plan is cremation, so even a "Gem" or a "Pygmyphone" will suffice!

I'm with you George.
I spent 12 years as a mathematics teacher at West Orange (NJ) High School.
I took the short ride to Thomas Edison's factory on many an afternoon.
I would like my ashes spread there. :lol:
If not, a needle tin (500 size) might suffice.

If you have the time, see how many places you can find the serial number stamped. The one I have in my living room has the same serial number stamped:
- on the metal tag
- on the bedplate underneath the turntable next to the spindle hole
- in the back under the elbow of the horn, (with one number stamped upside down
- written with a pencil on the bottom side of the turntable

So, when you start parting these out, you loose something...
