The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Picked up two nice Edison Banner machines today. Also picked up another 100 cylinders. I wonder if I'll find any more 5000 series mixed in. BothBanner machines are nice low numbers 3687 and 7757. Both have real nice Automatic reproducers, one being an 80,000 number. Just got home and slapped these pictures. I haven't even wiped them off.

The pinstripes look amazing and so does the rest of the machine... really nice find!

Nice!

Where did you get lucky enough to find a pair of them?

Two machines, 100 cylinders, and 3 cygnet and 1 standard cranes, all from the same person. It was a good days hunting.

Yes, indeed! I really like the early Homes, and yours look to be in great condition.

Hi Rich,
You sure have scored some great finds over the last few months!! You must have a very interesting collection by now.

Rich,
You weren't kidding when you described both machines as nice!
Congratulations!
I better get out of my lazy winter hibernation mode and start looking, now that spring is here!

Wow nice find. I would almost be willing to live with a snowy winter to have access to such a rich antique market.

The machines appear to be in excellent shape. Congrats..

How much did you pay for both machines and cylinders? That will determina on how "good" a deal that it actually was....lol...
