Edison Phonograph 614674

[Veronique]

Dear All,

 

I have inherited this Edison Phonograph.

Can anybody tell me anything about this machine?

And if possible can anybody tell me about the value.

Veronique,

 

You have an Edison Standard Phonograph.  It is fitted with a gear-change mechanism to play both cylinder formats made between 1903 and 1911.  There should have been another nickel plated reproducer with the machine used to play both formats.

 

This is a common early phonograph but also a desirable one because they are easily restored and play well when properly adjusted.  Others on the Forum can help with more specifics and value, if you wish.

Hi John, thank you very much for your info.

 

If there is anybody who can help me with the value than that would we great.

I would like to sell it because now it is stored at my attic and that's a shame.

It's a Standard Model B, circa 1907.  It was originally designed to play 2-minute cylinders, but has been upgraded to play both 2-minute and 4-minute cylinders.  It currently has a Model H reproducer, which is for playing 4-minute wax Amberols and celluloid cylinders (e.g. Edison Blue Amberols).  It also has been upgraded with a morning glory horn.  Originally, it was sold with a 14-inch brass horn.  What's it worth?  Well that depends on where you are selling it.  For example, I bought a Model B last year.  It was stock 2-minute and had a 14-inch reproduction horn.  It was in clean, excellent condition and came with two cylinders.  I paid the seller $200 for it.  I paid another $250 for a morning glory horn and crane. I am in Minnesota.  In other states, it would sell for considerably more.

Edison Standard model B it looks like most likely 1905 era

Here is my machine Standard model B. Has the model H 4 minute reproducer and the 2/4 minute gearing. And I have the model C for 2 minute cylinders.

Here is my Standard Model B.  Note that it has a late Standard cabinet.  I suspect that this might not be how it left the factory since Frow states in his book that this cabinet style was not used by Edison until 1908.  My Model B was made in 1906.  But, with Edison, you never know.

Veronique,

 

The phonograph appears to be missing a gear cover at left.  It is in average condition.  The basic machine is worth around $225 or so, but with the horn and crane, you could probably ask $300 or $350 for it.  Personally, I would take anything over about $275 or $300 for it.

Hope this helps.

Mike is right in his estimate, above...
