And so what, even if you spent $300 on an Edisonic reproducer I don't think $1300 is some unimaginable rip-off price for a completely restored Edisonic machine.
Sorry, I didn't realize it was yours. I think you did a
fantastic restoration job.

Ok, did the Edisonic sell or is it just removed to stop the comments? I just was curious to see how you had done on the cabinet work.. I recognize the machine from last years ebay, sold out west if I recall without the lid..

Dunno about the other craigslist ad, unless the author is a member I doubt they've seen this discussion.
Mine was on ebay in late 2007... without the lid, correct. Amazingly shipped from Utah with super cheap shipping. (arrived upside down, but hey.. had to be restored anyway)

Is the base cabinet a Sonora product? It does seem to echo their Bombe case lines.

Boy, does that Sonora have a really wide horn or is it just the way it looks? I think its a great machine for the price if its all working.

I have one like that. It's a solidly built case but the horn is squashed to the left of the motor and only flares out in the front. Pretty decent sound though.
