Edison Louis XV Diamond Disc Phonograph

Post by gemering »

One of my favorite machines to look at is the Edison Louis XV.
I am curious if any forum members own one????
If so, and you do not mind, please post some photos.
How rare are they and what is the current market value (I know this can be subjective :D )?
Are we talking thousands (plural)?

Thanks,
Gene

There is one on my website, page 6B: http://www.musicaltreasuresofmiami.com/6b-edison.html

I am asking $13,500 for mine.

There's one available on eBay right now, for the first time in a good number of years. Expect to pay for it, even with its condition issues. Yes, that means thousands.

Garret,
The eBay listing is what sparked my curiosity.
It will be interesting to see where that machine ends up.

Raphael,
Your B-375 is simply gorgeous, with more curves than a Miami Beach supermodel! :lol:

This is about the Edison Louis XVI but I was wondering how much they are worth and if someone could give me some information about them. Also could someone give a few pictures of a Louis XVI.

Gene,
Personally, I think this Columbia BY has more curves than Scarlett Johanssen:

Yes, but you have to admit, they are not in the same places as Ms. Johanssen's are.
