Steve,

Original copies of The Phonoscope are exceedingly rare. Years ago, Martin Bryan reproduced the January 1899 issue in full size, but the Polyphone ad in that one shows only Graphophones. I have the entire known 1896-1900 run on microfilm, but the images are generally poor.

Good luck!

I know these aren't specifically what you are looking for but decided to share them anyway. These are all newspapers from around the turn of the century, each mentioning Edison's Polyphone. I find old newspaper articles really interesting, especially when they are about phonographs. I didn't highlight where on each page the Polyphone info can be found so you will have to search each page. Sorry for the inconvenience!
