The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Not mine. I don't know much about Edison cylinder machines and am not really interested in collecting them at this point but this seemed to be a good price for the phonograph with extra reproducer, horn, crane, and what I think is a Herzog cabinet filled with 128 cylinders.

Happy Collecting!

That's a great price, the cabinet alone is worth more than what they're asking for everything.

Okay, I'll bite...

Where's the price? or links to images? or links to an ad?

Link is in original post, is it not working for you? The ad was found on Reachoo and the phonograph is located in Southern Illinois. Here are the details: Offered for sale is an Edison cylinder phonograph. Included are the "morning glory" horn with a rare folding stand from which it hangs. Also included is an original record cabinet full of cylinder records for it. There are 128 records which range from the 23rd Psalm to election speeches to "coon songs" to marches to opera. Three or four of the records have chips in them, but all are playable. There is an extra reproducer (the box for it is no longer intact). The phonograph is in an oak cabinet with the original finish and "Edison" decal intact. The mahogany record cabinet is unusual in that it has shelves attached to the door which swing out when it is opened, as well as sliding shelves inside the case itself which pull out for easy selection. Finish is original on the cabinet as well. Must be picked up. WE WILL NOT SHIP.

$475

I don't see the link in the original post, thanks for posting the images and details.

It is a great price, if I hadn't just LEFT Illinois three days ago I would have picked it up!

Notice the "election speeches" cylinders? Those cylinders may be worth the asking price alone.
Dream deal. Sucks to be in California at times like this.
