SOLD: EARLY Model Edison Fireside Phonograph - $575
Posted: Thu Jan 28, 2021 2:13 pm
Very rarely do you find the early model Edison Fireside Phonograph.
They are recognized by ONLY gold bed plate pinstriping with tufts of grass at the corners which beckoned to the earlier model Edison A and B series cylinder phonographs. This is a beautiful original early model Fireside and it plays about a sweet as you could or would ever expect any Edison cylinder phonograph to play. Click on the video below to see and hear for yourself. {The snow was melting on our roof which is the droplet sounds heard in the video} This has about 98% of its original gold bed plate striping. The cabinet has a nice proud original decal and the motor runs smooth and true. I've only lightly dusted this machine since I purchased it over 20 years ago. The Model C reproducer has been rebuilt and adjusted with new supple gaskets and includes a new stylus and stylus bar for outstanding sound. All else is completely original on this. This is the only early model Fireside I have ever found 'in the wild' in many years of collecting and I was pleased to see how nicely it had been kept. I'm offering it here for exactly what I paid for it. The original horn seen in the video is not included (sorry). PM, PayPal Friends or check, USPS extra at cost, packaged securely. Have a look and thanks for your consideration.
