Nellie Melba Machine & Edison w/Oak Cygnet

Post by dutchman »

Saw this on Craigslist the other day (posted links in Ebay & Craigslist section). Really interesting machine. I fell in love with the Edison w/Oak Cygnet, wonder if the owner would trade for my 30 Model A roadster.... :D

The Melba has it's own thread under eBay and Craigslist.

Why would all the Melbas have replacement motors? Didn't they share the same style motors as Victors sold in the States? Jerry

Rarity and everything aside, Nellie's not looking too good.

Is there an actual difference between what's known as a 'Melba' and a 'Nellie Melba'?

Put a record on the Melba and you have a 50% chance of making it through a record... :lol:
