Wanted: Trade/Partial Trade for an Edison Fireside.
Posted: Thu May 18, 2023 7:08 pm
Hello All,
I acquired an Edison Home Model B from Ron L'Herault a few Wayne shows ago, I would like to offer it in a trade for an edison fireside. I have attatched some images of it below. Its quite a nice machine and plays very nicely.
Pros: It has a new spring, runs very good and quietly. The Model H reproducer has been rebuilt and sounds loud and clear with new gaskets and a cleaned diaphragm. a new belt and a new 4 minute gear was put in. Excellent nickel plating all throughout, including the crank. the finish is very presentable all around, if cleaned and potentially reamalgamated it would look very good. The paint and nickel on the cygnet bracket are in great shape.
Cons: Just the top of the lid has been refinished, it was a good refinish job however. The betplate striping is not visible, though I am not sure if it will come back or not. The cygnet bracket was drilled incorrectly at first so two new holes were put in. it now tracks properly with a cygnet, but one hole is visible.
Warning: this does not come with the cygnet horn and/or crane
I would happily accept an edison fireside model A or B, the only things I want it to have is a factory drilled cygnet mount. and decent pinstriping. The cabinet could need some work. I would prefer it to have a model H or similar reproducer capable of playing 4 min wax amberols, a model K would be nice, but then I'm really asking for a lot!! I have a cygnet horn and crane that I will put on it.
Well, I hope this works out, I like the firesides. just to put it out there, I have an extra cygnet crane that I would like to potentially trade for a morning glory crane.
I may also have some other "bargaining chips"! so just ask!
Thanks all,
