The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

THANK YOU,
Wanted to extend Thanks & Appreciation to all on this forum for the help with identifying the Edisonic Beethoven I picked up. Special Thanks to KEVIN SANTRY for sending me the replacement Barrel Spring Motors with instructions. After replacing & adjustments this Beautiful Edisonic plays Awesome! It will soon be ready to sell.
I attached a couple pics of the finished product.

Thanks Again KEVIN SANTRY

So, are you going to offer it here?

I am trying to figure out the best way to list it. The size and weight might hold it back from selling out of my area 70657 Louisiana. But if I do list it out of my area I will list it here for sure.

Collectors will purchase machines from across the country. You do yourself a disservice by keeping your initial market local to your area.

You are right that I will limit myself concerning potential buyers for the Edisonic but wouldn't it have to be shipped by freight? I have never shipped anything that size...Wouldn't the Beethoven have to have a wooden crate made for it? Will the freight company the buyer goes with take care of all that? Sorry for sounding unsure (I Am)
Anyway any input or thoughts would be Awesome.
Thanks

No, there are companies like uship that work with independent movers to provide door-to-door service. There are also companies that provide transportation services specifically for antiques at decent prices.

I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about how the buyer is going to get it - that's largely up to the buyer. All you usually have to do there is make an appointment with the shipper and be home when they come to get it. The rest is up the the shipper and the buyer.
