The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

It's Edison blowout day...

Anyway, this B-80 is a totally complete, running and playing machine. I've rebuilt the reproducer including a replacement diamond stylus and Brian Krapes diaphragm. It's sounds fantastic. The motor has no issues playing through at least one entire diamond disc. This thing basically just needs a good thorough cleaning with Go-Jo or Kotton Kleanser and a good waxing. It has no major issues to report and it's been sitting in my project room for more than 5 years, so it needs to go. The price is $250 firm (that's much less than I have into it) delivered to the Wayne show next Sunday or, again, you may pick this up at my house near Albany, NY.

Thanks!

Bump -anyone?

Sean

Is the wood Mahogany? Are there any areas where the wood is damaged, missing, or any loose veneer issues, etc. Is the grille solid? And the one photo you posted shows alot of little white specks - is that dried paint or just camera dust flashes? I may me interested and I am going to the Wayne show on Sunday. Brian Keith

Brian,

Mahogany. It's nice and complete, no veneer issues at all, it should clean up nicely. No major damage at all.

Sean

Bring in to Wayne N.J. this Sunday - i'll take it. Where / how can I find you at the show? Brian Keith

I'll have it with me. I'll PM you with how to find me.

Best / Sean
