I am looking to buy an Edison external horn (standard, home, etc.) phonograph that has been restored – clean (displays nicely) and in excellent working order. This will be a “starter” phonograph for me. Please let me know if you have one you’d like to sell to a newbie (me) and whether you have some cylinders for sale as well. I am in the Washington, DC area. Thank you.

If you are located near FL it would be advised you visit the Orlando Phonograph Show Jan 24-25.
I personally will have a few quality Edison Phonographs for sale at the show.
Good Luck

Raphael Cole (a member of this forum) has a very nice Edison Fireside listed on ebay right now.

He's an experienced shipper, too, so you don't have to worry about it arriving with damage.

The best advice I can give is to buy a machine with two and four minute playing capability. You might pay about $50 more for the 2&4 minute player over a 2 minute only player but it is money well spent. I think many first time buyers settle on a two minute player with the intention of buying the additional gearing to make it a combination player. It's tough to find the gearing and moderately expensive to buy it when found.
