The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hola Francisco

Welcome to the Talking Machine Forum. You have a very nice collection of Edison machines.
You will find there are lots of forum members with extensive Edison knowledge.

We look forward to your European experience and perspective.

I never saw a Concert. I have a Columbia AG for playing the large cylinders. You photo is nice and clear and that machine with crane and horn is beautiful. Neil

The crane is a replica, the rest is original. The operation of this phonograph is excellent. This device has been the last to arrive in my collection. I have disassembled, cleaned and greased piece by piece this weekend and it has been very fine and smooth.
The upper arm was split in the transport. You can see the pictures of how it looked and how I left it.
When work permits, I will take more photos.

I would really be upset with a broken carriage like that. I am actually needing the same one. I have made a studio recording carriage for recording concert records, with the original 1910 era major studio recording head.

Hi, I don't know your name. Yes, you can imagine when I saw the disaster. I have a spare arm that I bought in the United States. The 3 casting welds have not been easy, since you can see that nothing shows and the welding work was perfect, it was only necessary to paint the collar after checking the welds. If you keep the remains, the arm can be repaired and it would seem new. I have the arm that I bought in return because I bought it before seeing the results of the repair.
