I seen Edison machines, I've seen Edison Bell machines, but I've never see this elusive Edison Columbia machine that uses this RARE Reproducer. Maybe someone could post a picture of one for us all to see.

C'mon guys, it's a Columdison. Pretty rare! After only 3 months they had to change the name to Edisumbia to get around patent infringement issues.
