A potential bargain for somebody.

Re: Four Edisons for sale ($600 for the lot) in Tacoma
Just as I was saying to myself, I am content, slow down on your buying of these machines, Scott sent me an email and I was all over it. I paid his asking price. Both upright Edisons work. One is an W 19, and the other is an A-100. (My first Edison disc players.) There are two adapters which I assume are to play lateral cut records too. I havent tried them yet. There was a Babson horn with lots of paint loss. Two Edison standards, neither work. One turns. I am very new at this so dont know exactly what needs to be done. There was also a parts Columbia cylinder player. Several of the parts are cracked pot metal, including the main carriage holder? There was also a broken Edison reproducer. Pictures to follow.

Congrats! Looks like enough projects to keep you our of trouble for awhile! 
But all should be doable. The 2 DD uprights look pretty good as is from what I can see of them. Most definitely a steal!
