The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I'm in the process of cleaning out some things I've had in storage and some projects that I'll never get around to... this is one of them, an Edison Home Model F 2/4 Minute Combination Type... I believe this is one of the more elusive ones... has the horizontal carriage (with a built-in brush) for a Diamond B or Model O reproducer... what you see is what I'm selling, and I'll sell these pieces separately or as a package. The spring is fine, the motor runs well and the upper works move freely, but the belt has to be replaced so it's not in playing condition. The lid is correct for a Home and fits perfectly but not original to this machine and obviously, although it's solid, the finish is a mess. The cygnet horn bracket is an original and pretty nice, I'm not sure about the crane (which is for a straight horn, not a cygnet)... I'd like:

$85 for the cygnet bracket
$75 for the crane
$100 for the lid
$300 for the machine (and crank), which I'd like to keep together rather than sell as parts

Any of this can be mailed, although it would be easier to deliver to the Wayne show in September... pick up is also welcome in southern NJ just outside Philadelphia. If interested, send a message or email brianu73 at hotmail.

Thanks,

Brian

If anyone is interested in buying all of this before anything sells individually, I'd take 500 for everything... If you consider that the cygnet mounting bracket and crane are worth at least 150, then you'd be getting the machine for just 350, which is pretty good for a model F.

Crane is sold.

Any interest in the rest, machine with crank, lid and cygnet mount, for 450? That's basically a complete model F machine minus horn and reproducer.

bump.

Price is $375 for everything, excluding the crane (which is sold) and the cygnet bracket.

last bump... I can bring this to wayne if anyone is interested... $250 for the complete machine and lid (there's no reproducer and the cygnet bracket is not included). this recently sold on ebay but the sale seems to have fallen through because of cost-prohibitive shipping from one coast to the other... this is fully boxed and ready to mail though, so I could do that as well.
