Has anyone had any dealings with this seller or even know him.

Thanks

I contacted him and here are parts of his reply:

Edison floor models? I have Models - A100, A150 in oak, S-19, & a C-19. In table tops I have (4) Amberola #30's, (3) Edison Home players I would have to double check the models (? Standard A, maybe E). Pricing? I just looking for a fair price
depending on what models you are looking at and how many you may be interested in buying the prices will be reduced 20 to 50% below eBay going rate
Columbia is a Back Mount, Model BKT, This is a machine that I picked up
about 30 years ago with the intention of restoring some day. The case if
fair, motor is in tack and still spins, believe to have the original
crank. The horn is in poor shape, and the Tone Arm is trashed and would
need to be replaced completely.
Columbia Type B
Caecilian
Kimball
Crayola Master (suit case)
I have a Edison Amberola #75, table model that has been apart and boxed up for around 30 years. I had stripped the case and never refinished it.
I also have the Columbia Model BKT, with the blue horn, a machine that I picked up about 30 years ago with the intention of restoring some day. The case if fair, motor is in tack and still spins, believe to have the original crank. The horn is in poor shape, and the Tone Arm is trashed and would need to be replaced completely. Personally it could be restored, but a view it as a parts machine. Unless this is some thing you restore, this machine is not for the beginner.


Sounds like he has been at this for a while and is downsizing.

PM me if you need his contact info.
