What is my Edison Diamond Disc W-250 worth?

[gene_ballard]

This machine has been in the family for over 60 years and has only been in two different rooms. It plays beautifully. It is NOT the short/long play model. It does have the Duncan brake. It has the Edison Lab medallion on the deck.

I have an opportunity to acquire this machine but don't want to spend more than its worth.

Thanks!!

The gibson mill antique mall in Concord NC had a very nice W-250 for $300 when we were there last week. I thought that was a good price

For comparison, there's a decent W-19 for sale in my area - they've been trying to sell it for a while and are down to $200 now.

I paid a bit more than $300 for mine as a project about 2 years ago. I'd gladly sell it for what I have into it.

I was recently offered a working Edison W-250 in what appears to be very nice original condition for $200. It has about 30 DD records and the lateral reproducer attachment. To me that is an excellent price. This model always struck me as being a rather imposing (very tall and sort of bulky) machine as Edison Diamond Disc machines go. The cabinet and lid on this model (and the H-19) always seemed a bit boring (to me) with their severely straight lines but I do like the legs and interesting stretchers on the bottom of the W-19 and W-250. I have found that this model turns up far less frequently than the C-250 and C-19 from about the same era.

I just got this one for 150.00 and am delighted. Plays wonderful.
