I recently bought several beautiful machines from Gene Manno. An Edison Home Under Glass, an Edison Amberola III, an Edison Amberola B-VIII, an Edison Drip Pan Gem, and an Edison Gem Model-C. Can't wait to see what else I will be buying from. I guess you understand why I was selling a few things.

Very nice Rich. I almost bought the drip pan. Love the Edison under the glass. Shoot, I love them all. I have 1 more machine to get from Gene.

Looks like you did very well Rich. Congrats!!!!...
.
The last pic shows a H&S record cabinet with the Gem on it. I was just curious...did it come with wood knobs originally..??. I never seen this model with a cut corner design before. I thought I had seen one in one of the Paul & Fabrizio books (maybe George can refresh my memory). Was this a special model..??.
Very interesting. Can you tell us more..??.

Fantastic stuff! Congratulations! Who made the glass case for the Edison Home - is the Home Under Glass an actual Edison model? (Forgive my newbieness).
If it was made aftermarket, I'd love to find/make these for a bunch on my units to keep the dust away. Any ideas?
Where is Gene based - may need to pay him a visit... His stuff looks epic!

I had a cylinder cabinet a long time ago that fit on the shelf of the Amberola III. I think it held something like 90 records on the pegs. No boxes would fit in it or did it have room to set lids on top of it. I must have sold that 15-20 years ago and have no idea where it went to. They are nice machines. You picked up some nice phonographs from the looks of it, congratulations!

You rarely see those cabinets. Wish you still had them.
