Tinfoilphono Posted April 23, 2022 Author Share Posted April 23, 2022 Thanks for the pics. I already have that one in the database but the Liverpool dealer plate is an interesting addition to the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinfoilphono Posted May 1, 2022 Author Share Posted May 1, 2022 Here is an updated census of all reported Operas to date: Opera Database Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatheLogical Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Hi Rene, FYI: The Opera Database in the link above may have been updated (looks like on 12/04/2021), but I don't think it's up-to-date (i.e. current)😉. You may want to update your update. Thanks, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodPickett Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 The document referenced by the link René provided is the latest revision, dated February 28, 2022. It is also one of the first documents uploaded to our pre-production Server. The Document Name (Edison_Opera_Database.pdf), is not versioned so you could be looking at an older copy if you downloaded same – otherwise, your web browser should open the latest.

PatheLogical Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) Hi Rod, Yes, I see that date on the pie chart --- but I see December 4, 2021 at the top of each sheet of data. I see the same thing on three different devices with three different browsers. Are these data sheets (dated December 4, 2021) the latest revision? I know information on more Operas have been submitted after December 4, 2021. I did see my Opera's data (SN 1554) included in a previous revision of the data sheets. Thanks, Bob Edited May 2, 2022 by PatheLogical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodPickett Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Ah, I see your point. Some auto-updates failed to occur, including Date and Total Count. The data-elements were correct. Thanks for noting the error. This was actually a good test of “in-place” file replacement for our new storage-containers. - rod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatheLogical Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 (edited) Here's another new example for the database. This one belongs to a friend. Serial number 392 Mahogany Edited July 7, 2022 by PatheLogical Add Photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinfoilphono Posted January 8, 2023 Author Share Posted January 8, 2023 (edited) Forty more serial numbers have been added to the database in the past few months. The count is currently at 401, pretty close to 10% of the original production. That's a large enough sample to draw some serious conclusions. Interestingly, oak "Concert"-labeled Operas are twice as rare as School Phonographs! Edison Opera database.

ducretet Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Hello, I have recently acquired a mahogany opera, serial number 389. I see that you already had it in the database. Regards, Ferran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinfoilphono Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 Thanks for checking, and congratulations on a very early number! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ducretet Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Thanks, Yes, I am very satisfied with the opera. It is in an incredible state. Beautiful!!! Regards, Ferran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I am new to program, first time user. I was trying to look up info on my C250/19 SM numbers,I have 5 of them. I then ran into the subject on Edison Opera machines. I saw the data sheet and seen that the SM of my machine wasnt there. I have had for around 4 years in good shape and plays well. The SM number is 223. I have the mahogany horn an also a tiger maple wood horn made by Don Gfell of Milan Ohio. I hope my Sm number will fill in the blank spot.

Tinfoilphono Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 I'd certainly love to see it, especially with Don Gfell's horn. He does wonderful work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinfoilphono Posted January 22, 2023 Author Share Posted January 22, 2023 Thanks for posting those. That's a design I hadn't previously seen Don make. Very complex, to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithh Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Mine is Concert 4362, in mahogany, now living in the east of England. What lovely machines they are. I am fortunate enough to have a Model L reproducer too which is if anything clearer than the Diamond A. Well done Rene for this work. Simple demonstration of how a society like ours can further research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinfoilphono Posted March 18, 2023 Author Share Posted March 18, 2023 Thanks for the number. The database keeps growing. Mine came with both L and A reproducers. Both have been rebuilt, but like you I much prefer the sound of the L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithh Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) I looked through my photos and have found another couple: 3191 is an Oak Opera 4463 is a Mahogany Concert Hope this helps Keith Edited March 24, 2023 by Keithh Typing error!
