The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I need help to identifying this Edison disc phonograph. I got it yesterday. The phonograph is missing the metal name plate who tell me the model type and number.
This is a restoration project.

it appears to be an EDISON B-375 "LOUIS XV" DIAMOND DISK PHONOGRAPH

Here is a link to one at Musical Treasures of Miami:

Very nice and uncommon! Congratulations.

Wow, did you find that in Norway or import it? It must be quite unusual to find such a rare model there. The exterior appears to need little restoration outside of a good cleaning. Could you show us some pictures "under the hood?"

Spectacular find! Jerry

Yes indeed! These are beautiful machines when cleaned up, as the picture from MTM shows. Congrats!

The A/B-375 is a beautiful machine. Congratulations!

The grille appears to have been replaced (they are fragile and easily damaged). You may be able to get a replacement from "Gramps."
