The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Earlier this year (at Union, in fact) I purchased a very nice oak Edison C-150 from another member of this forum. It was missing the crank and record rack, and the reproducer needed a stylus, but other than that it was in nearly perfect shape.

I took care of the crank and reproducer immediately, but I only just today received the record rack, after having decided I wanted it. Only thing is, when I went to put it in, I discovered that there are no screw holes in the cabinet! As such, it is impossible that this machine came from the factory with a record rack.

Currently, I have the rack just sitting in there, not screwed in. Did C-150s ever come with drawers? If so, are they rare/expensive?

George Frow's book mentions only two styles of wire record racks, and doesn't describe how they might have been fastened (if they were in the first place).
No photos to show how they look. Maybe some C-150 owner will help you out!
