The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I am looking for a set of Edison Diamond Disc Record Albums for my Edison A100. If anyone has any please let me know, and price you are asking for them.

Richard,

I saw some in a local antique shop a few months ago. They were in what I would consider "fair" condition. When I inquired about them, I thought the asking price was too high. I made an offer but they would not negotiate. The shop is in a popular Antiquing destination in central Florida and was on an "Event" day at the end of the winter tourist season with lots of potential customers in town. I find dealers unwilling to negotiate much during such times. It is now the middle of the summer and many of these shops struggle to pay the rent this time of year and are a little more receptive to cash offers. How much do you think they are worth?

I suspect they are still there since the Albums are not displayed and are kept in a cabinet out of view and unless someone was to ask, shoppers would not likely ever see them. I just happened to know they had them, because I had inquired about record related stuff a while back and they told me that they had some 78's behind the counter. At that time they took some out for me to look through. It turned out that I wasn't interested in the records they had, but they were in very clean Albums and I bought a few of those at a decent price. I needed some more and went back this spring. This time they let me go behind the counter and rummage through what was in it.I saw the Edison albums at that time.

I wouldn't mind getting one for myself, for the right price. I think there were may have been five or six of them.
