The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Picked up a couple things at the Pa. Auction today. Can't wait until Monday so I can pick them up. I bought a suitcase of 12 concert cylinders and a Edison Standard Model A.

Rich,
I saw that on the net and tried to bid at last moment. You got a great deal on the Home because it has a brass mandrel. As you may already know, brass mandrels are hard to find and were on the earliest suitcase Homes. The mandrel itself is probably worth more than what you paid for the whole machine! Congrats, you got a good deal! Your lucky you live close enough to not have to ship your winnings.

There were some nice machines there. I came home with the banner Triumph and the box of reproducers, crane parts etc. Anyone out there need rollmonica rolls?

I was bidding on the reproducers and crane parts also. Now I know who won them. I kicking myself for not going one more bid on the standard suitcase. Went fot $400.

Once I saw the standard speaker I knew I had to have it. Now I need to find a diaphragm stylus and the small screw that keeps the weight from falling too far.

Steve Medved does all of mine. He is the best.

Rich

Do you have contact information for Mr Medved? This box is chock full of neat stuff.
