The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

A whole "lot" of Ediphone, no pun intended. Ediphone's (to me) are usually ugly but these seem to be in nice shape.

This is an Edison Dictaphone shaver and also a Ediphone that is on the right it looks complete and also an Edison to the left which is missing several pieces including the motor and is just a parts piece. The Edison shaver shown in the middle and has 2 drawers full of recording stuff and much of the wax inside of the rounds are cracked and missing. The bottom drawer contains and Edison Typease and a bunch of wires and cords. On the top is a label that says Pat. August 8 1905 I did not plug in either one to see if they work.

Please ask any questions.

Prefer pick up but will work with buyer to arrange shipping.

I love the broken 2-min cylinder and Blue Amberol in with the Ediphone cylinders. These shavers are FEARSOME (loud and FAST) but the best thing for shaving blanks. These later Ediphones seem to crop up all the time. They are kind of plain/ugly compared to the old wood-cased Edison Business Phonographs, but I guess there's not much demand for those, either...probably because you can't play regular cylinders on them due to the feedscrew pitch difference. Speaking of which, I have a couple of Business and Ediphones I've been meaning to restore...
