The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hello ! Is there an Edison phonograph available for sale with any of the fellow members here? My present collection includes British and Swiss gramophones. I want to add to it an Edison gramophone model that is most popular, economical and functional. The purpose is to own a specimen of these cylinder players. I am not looking for anything which is antique and very expensive. A friend of mine will visit USA next month and buy for me on my advice. Looking forward to hear from you. Thanks and regards

I suggest your first Edison be a machine that plays both two and four minute cylinders. That gives you the flexibility to play most any cylinder you find. There have been threads here on the Forum debating the merits of the Home, Fireside, and Standard models and you can't go wrong with any of those that are in good shape. I will have several at the Antique Phonograph Society Midwest Expo next month. My machines will be in the $400 range.
