Posted: Sun Oct 28, 2018 8:29 pm
I would like to offer my edison home model a for sale. I have completely rebuilt the mechanics of this machine and it plays smoothly and quietly through three full 2 minute cylinders on one winding. The only issue is the lower belt pulley stripped out on the set screw hole and I retapped it for a 6 32 screw. If this is an issue for the new owner I will replace the pulley. The paint and stenciling are very nice and glossy with the typical wear on the right front corner of the bedplate. The c reproducer is an early one with the side arm and stepped mica diaphragm. I rebuilt it with silicone rubber gaskets and it plays great. The case has been very nicely restored and has a beautiful green tint to the stain as original. The 2/4 minute attachment was new old stock when I purchased it in its original box on ebay. The plating on the mandrel is perfect and the feedscrew is flawless with no damaged threads. The origional box will be included with the machine. The horn is about 30" long and has nice original paint with average dents in the brass bell. The crane is an original clamp on style and holds the horn firmly on the machine. The machine is in St. Louis and I would much prefer to sell it to someone who can pick it up rather than shipping it. I would like like $600 for the machine, but I am willing to negotiate on the price.
