1898 Model A Thomas Edison Phonograph |
||||||
|
This is one of Thomas
Edison's original phonographs. It uses cylinders that were the first
type of recording device. I spent a little time cleaning, oiling and finally getting it working this weekend. I had to weld one gear in place, install a lower pulley and put on a new belt. This early edison home model A phonograph has the serial number H 76082 and the last patent date of May 31, 1898. I am selling this machine for restoration--needs a reproducer, crank, belt, and a new spring (or have the existing spring repaired). I wound the machine with a crank from my own collection--the spring slips when wound. The case retains the original green oak finish and a STUNNING original banner decal! Other than being a little dirty, the original banner decal is 99.999% perfect! The bedplate/casting retains the original pinstriping and decoration which has dulled over time--a good cleaning/polishing would help in its appearance! The original finish on the lid is very weak--the finish on the lower cabinet is considerably better. The very side edges of the lid have tiny slivers of missing veneer--hardly noticeable but must be mentioned. The entire case/cabinet is very tight and solid. The motorboard support/brace is missing the small screw which secures it to the lower cabinet--easy to replace. Please email with any additional questions! Buyer to pay $30.00 for DHL ground shipment, fully insured. Payment is expected within SEVEN days!! NO international customers unless you email me first! Paypal, personal checks, and money orders welcome!!
