FOR SALE: EDISON B80 DIAMOND DISC MACHINE - INQUIRE

[briankeith]

What would be a fair asking price for a great playing and great sounding Edison B-80 belt driven Diamond Disc? Cabinet is red mahogony which is badly alligatored, blotchy in spots, scuffed a bit, but no wood damage or missing pieces. It also has the original grille which is 100% intact but no cloth remains. The metal parts are nice - the cabinet needs a total going over and possible refinish job, maybe not. Just curious as I may bring this machine to the Wayne show since I have another B-80 which is perfect - these are way too big to keep both!

Photos always help.

This should show the cabinets overall condition as found:

Very nice, I might be interested in it- might buy, or try to trade.

I am always open to trades - even upright floor models, not consoles.

For what it's worth I paid $250 for one in similar condition (auction in PA last year). Mine is missing half of one of the feet, but otherwise intact and alligatored.

I recently paid $100 for one - badly alligatored (much worse than yours appears - but cleaned up very nice), missing Diamond Disc reproducer but included a nice Kent reproducer to play 78s, missing grill, and missing crank.

I think I will pass- I took a look at the machine I was going to trade & realized I liked it more.
