The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

PICKUP AT THE ORLANDO SHOW
Beautiful Edison B1 in mint restored condition:

This is restored from the ground up with plating on all metal parts including hinges locks, cylinder holders, crank, just everything metallic on the exterior. The grille was damaged in moving ( Darn thing fell right on top of me on the ground)
Price will be $3500.00

Really nice restoration!

Wow!! Very nice!!

You're lucky to be alive if this thing fell on you. I had the pleasure of dragging mine up a flight of stairs where it will remain until someone else drags it down.

More like tipped over. It was on a dolly and I slipped. Good thing it landed on top of me cause that saved it from serious damage.

Were the casters removed from this B1? Also how bad is the grille? I should say that I have several Amberola 1B parts, including an excellent undamaged grille in mahogany.

I have the castors. Removed because the machine is on carpet.
I just completed repairs on the grille as I had all the broken parts but not 100% perfect.

I have a Oak grille in good condition if anyone is interested in a trade.

How much are you asking for your grille?

Thanks much.
Herman

Reminder:
This amazing piece will be at the Orlando show tomorrow 26Jan.
It is reasonably priced and hope I do not have to take it back home.
