My Edison record player was broken by the mover. Worked before our move. Have not tried to repair. Has several records and cabinet is in reasonable condition. Would like to sell as-is. Can provide pictures. Located near Jacksonville, FL.

Sorry to hear that. It may be an easy fix if you wish to keep it. Let us know what it is/isn't doing and we may be able to help if you.
What model is it?

When you say, 'the arm does not move up or down', do you mean the cueing lever is stuck? Have you checked to see whether something has been jammed under the horn? If the lever moves, but the horn and reproducer will not rise, you might check to see whether the bolts on the upper horn bracket have come loose: if so, you should reset them.
To set the reproducer to the correct height, first make sure that the right-hand bolt is centered in the groove on the lever shaft. Make sure the lever is in the UPRIGHT position. Raise the horn up by hand, and place a good flat disc on the turntable. Lower the horn, so the reproducer is resting on the disc: then raise it until the limit pin on the reproducer is about 1/8" from the bottom edge of the upper part. Holding the horn at that height, make sure the lever shaft is pushed down as far as it can go,and tighten the bolts with a wrench.
The original instructions say that the pin should be distant 'by its own diameter' from the bottom of the reproducer cup; but experience with discs that have warped slightly leads me to leave a little leeway.
Let us know if you still have a problem after trying this.

Do not see anything jamming the horn, but wonder if the bottom should be in the hole (see new picture of bottom of horn). I cannot move but have not forced it. Attachments:

Yes, the bottom of the shaft should definitely be in the hole, or just above it. A little gentle persuasion should get it back in place.

Best procedure is to loosen the bolts on the upper bracket, plus (perhaps) the screw on the collar above that. Then lift the horn up and get it in place; after that, reset the height as above.

Thanks for your help! It works perfectly again now.
If you know anyone near Jacksonville FL who may be interested, it is still for sale.
