The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi All-- A few years ago I bought a small collection of Edison machines and am finally getting around to working on them. One of the machines is a HOME Model "F". The mandrel was frozen, but I fixed it, installed a new bearing and it's playing great. This is the first "F" I've ever had. Four minute only, Diamond B reproducer, Oak Music Master horn. All legit according to Frow.

I would appreciate any and all information re: production numbers, relative rarity and service dates . The serial # is 396839F. I had originally planned to sell the machines from this little collection, but I'm really tempted to add this machine to my own collection. I think I'm in love!

Thanks-
