1899 Edison Spring Motor Phonograph
$2,750.00
No Sales Tax If Shipped Outside North Carolina.
Edison Spring Motor Phonograph in a pristine fumed oak cabinet.
Machine and cabinet are in excellent condition, and the phonograph’s bedplate is close to mint, with beautiful original enamel and nearly perfect original gold decorations.
Cabinet finish is original and smooth to the touch, and the interior of the lid is clean. Lid’s exterior is excellent, with a single small ding on the backside, near the top, but otherwise no veneer problems — remarkable for an enclosure this large. Original swarf box slides easily in and out of the base.
The massive spring motor is in excellent condition, with ample torque. The governor assembly is working properly, and the phonograph plays multiple cylinders with a single winding.
Original 14″ all-brass horn has scattered dings but is in good condition overall.
The phonograph will be partially dis-assembled and shipped in 3 double-boxed packages for safe transit. Some familiarity with a cylinder phonograph mechanism and topworks required for re-assembly.
