Wanted: Edison Idelia (Ideal) Phonograph

[PeterF]

Hi -

If you have one and want to part with it, or know someone who might, please send me a PM and let’s talk. It would need to be complete with lid, and in at least VG condition, especially the oxidized finish. Not interested in the late, maroon finish, version despite its rarity. 2- or 2/4-minute are equally fine, and if the oxidized cygnet crane is present it’s great - but not required. Same with the oxidized reproducer and recorder.

I’ll be driving cross country a couple of times this year, so it’s likely we will avoid any packing and shipping hassle.

Thanks.

There’s two up for grabs at the Stanton’s fall auction, nice ones!

I’ve had a couple of guys ask me where I saw this info. I saw the full page ad Stanton’s took out in the latest edition of the MBSI’s journal magazine. Hope this helps.

The Stanton's auction ad also appeared in last month's issue of the APS magazine.
