Well I can’t blame you. It wasn’t exciting enough to worry about. I did like the little corner drawers, presumably for needles, mounted at the front of the chassis, I’ve not seen that before. With the parquetry front this must have been quite an expensive machine when new.

Yes, I noticed that, all signs of in-built "quality" but I also liked the pull out front shelf for holding records whilst you're playing it. Edison Bell also produced its own motors so it would have been well equipped on that front too. How short-sighted of the sellers.

I thought I'd do a "poodling around" by sharing this cabinet gramophone, currently on Ebay, as it is a bit of an oddity:

Does anyone recognise it? I asked the seller for additional photos a few days ago but they're not forthcoming. Will it attract more than £15?

People wouldn't be fooled by your imitation of me as you haven't used the word 'interesting' - a rookie mistake ha ha
Having had a forensic look at the photographs I thought that the 'lid-stay' looked a little thin and not quite 'up to the job' (a bit like me never being picked for the school rugby team - not that I am bitter or anything ...) ........ although probably original ?
