No real questions about this one....I just wanted to show her off!
A fully functioning Edison C250 that will be sitting in my office (hopefully) next week!

Wonderful machine with original finish! Always a nice find! It looks good as it is, and I'm sure it would clean up nicely with some GOOP hand cleaner or similar product if you desire. Look at all those records to look through...

I agree with JW, nice mahogany Chippendale there. Great original patina too. Does it have the Duncan stop? Marc.

I’m sorry but I’m not familiar with what a Duncan Stop is.

You can tell there's no Edison Automatic Stop ("Duncan Stop") by the lack of the conduit on the neck of the horn.
This board has a Search feature at the bottom right of the screen. By typing "Duncan Stop," you'll find a 35 pages of threads such as these:

As small point of clarification, the factory-stock Duncan Stop installation does indeed include a metal conduit on the horn neck for the wire, but the factory aftermarket Duncan Stop kit instead provides a pair of spring wire clips with loops to hold the wire to the horn neck.
Nit: picked.

Looks like she's in good shape!
It looks like the front of the Lid will need some work. Check EBay first though, You may find a better lid!...before you sink lots of work into the existing one...
