The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I am listing an Edison Triumph owned by a friend for sale. The asking price is $1600. I believe this is a model E. The Serial No. is 78704D. It matches the description in Frow's book for an "E" and that is why I believe it is a model E. If the "D" in the serial number means it is a model "D" then that is what it is. Possibly George can say one way or the other. The machine has been cleaned and adjusted and has a new belt. It is a 2/4 minute and the Model O reproducerHas been rebuilt. The reproducer is the pot metal version but there are no chips in the top. It looks like about ⅛" of the neck is missing but it has been cleaned up, rebuilt and works fine with the horn. You can see that there are some brown patches on the top plate. Most of this could be carefully removed. The horn is in very good shape. However you can see that a lot of paint has flaked off the horn neck. Everything is original. The machine and horn have the original finish. The nickel parts have been cleaned and polished. The original bearing is functional and not binding.

I would prefer not to ship it. I can deliver it to the Wayne show. OR--
I will be traveling from Maryland to Michigan via the Toll roads next week. I am willing to do a hand off along the PA and Ohio turnpikes. If I do have to ship it the buyer pays for packing, shipping and insurance on two boxes. The works would go separate from the case.

If you have any questions, please ask. More pictures are available.

Great machine and great price. With a wooden horn, grained elbow and O reproducer, this is a steal. Someone should snatch this machine.
