The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

After many years of back troubles my Doctor and my wife have declared "No More Upright Phonographs". Over the next few days all uprights & consoles (with the exception of my Schubert and my Brunswick York) are being offered for sale. We are less that 3 hours south of Union, Il, so if you are going to Donley's Dec. 11-12 auction, you could stop by on your way to or from! You will need to bring help to load (I am under strict weight limits these days). If not. I can store until it is convenient for you to pick up.
No real interest in the complete machine, so I am willing to part it out. Please email or pm with requests. Can ship smaller parts. Larger parts need to be picked up by you or a shipper.
Next for your shopping pleasure an Edison A-250 Mahogany phonograph. Good Spring, Good Reproducer. Case is decent except for damage to one foot. It is all there, just needs glued back in place. The usual bad grill. If I recall, the tracking rack is worn. Always open to offers, especially on multiple machines. Asking $125

Brake mechanism is sold!

Wow. Only 15 years ago a A-250 was considered a very, very nice find.

I know. It's very disappointing but it is the way of the world. Who has room for all these uprights. If my back hadn't decided to finally give out after 45 years of moving these monsters around, I would be keeping it and fixing it. Such is life...

The reproducer, the knob for the back door and the rod and hardware for the front door are sold. Thank you so much for everyone's interest. Still available are all doors, drawers, lid and the mechanism if anybody is interested
