I'm getting help -- that's not that helpful. However, you're theoretically going to be able to see a picture of the Edison. Hope this works. home.comcast.net/~jdavishart/1.jpg

It would look like this:



Let me know if you have any questions.

Davis,

Love the Columbia Grafonola DeLuxe. Does this have the Regina disc accessory? First time I've ever seen the Sheraton sans inlay other than a book. I wonder if the inlay could be spruce, as this was a light wood and was used by Brunswick for their horns.

The Columbia is my best restoration. It was in a barn (on a dirt floor) from 1920-2002. 2 guys who were tearing down the barn for "barn-wood" brought it in to a junk store. It was full of rats' nests, urine, etc., etc. Nasty! Top section was loose, half the pieces of the horn went up -- half down. Lots of loose veneer. The only thing wrong with the mechanism was a broken fibre washer between the spindle & governor. Amazing. Base was entirely rotted away. Legs are new & not correct. This thing is LOUD & clear. No Regina mechanism -- that's in another room! (I know it went into the barn in 1920 because the guys tearing it down asked.) Thanks for your interest!

Forgot to say: I didn't add any stain to the cabinet. Just washed it down with de-natured alcohol & went over it with Tung-Oil Varnish.
