The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Looking to restore my Family’s Thomas Edison Home Model C with an H serial number. I need the horn first. I would like to have very good condition or better. Thank you.

Please post a couple of pictures of the phonograph and one of the ID tag with the model number on it. That way we can give you good advice on the machine. By the way Model C home phonographs are rare so it will well worth restoring. A lot of the parts fit on several phonographs. Tom

It's probably a Model B with a C reproducer but photos would clarify. Then there are many options.

Where are you located? Shipping could be very expensive if you want the horn that goes on a crane.
