Hey yall! I have a phonograph in my basement. Used to be my late grandfather’s. The sticker on inside of it says Edison No. 18 form 2430. No idea if it works and anything about it other than i want to get it working if its not! anyone know anything on this? Possible dates it is from, how to find out if it works and how to use it properly. Didnt wanna mess with it and mess it up.

Is it a cylinder or disc machine?
The sticker indicates the factory the cabinet was made in. Look for the metal ID plate, and it should show the model number and serial number. Photos would also be helpful.
