Edit: I started to partially disassemble to clean the Model A and I have a better idea of the condition. I have dropped the price down as there are parts missing on the motor and the bottom of hte case will need to be replaced due to partial termite damage. I fully understand if people are only interested in this lot for parts but I just ask for reasonable offers.
This lot I just acquired from the estate of a late friend. When I saw these in storage and mentioned what they were his widow asked "do you want them?" So I found myself in possession of two Edison Standards (one model A, one model B), a horn, crane, and a large lot of cylinders in various conditions.
The Model A has a reproducer and a recorder and shaver attachments. The crank is not original as can be seen in the photos. The crane for the horn is in remarkable condition with all screws and bits in place. The horn has largely original finish for a metallic red sheen. The Model B as no governor at all, the Model A likely needs the governor weights reattached/readjusted. The cases will likewise require cleaning and repair. All the same, the bulk of parts are here and these should clean up nicely or one can serve as parts for the other.
I have not inventoried all the cylinders but suffice to say there are around 50+ Edison and Columbia cylinders here in various conditions.
Price for everything is at $400. I am flexible on price and welcome reasonable offers. There are two "howevers..."
1. Selling as an entire lot unless "you make me an offer I can't refuse"
2. I *really* do not wish to ship this material if I can help it. I am in Alexandria, VA and am willing to drive within an hour or so to meet up to exchange the items if that might work.
Some photos are below and I am happy to take more for folks upon request. A dropbox folder with lots of images can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/z7wdndfr ... p9187&dl=0
