Hi All, A very rare opportunity exists. I have recently re-assessed my collecting goals and as a result I will be accepting offers (please don't email asking what I want for it, I want you to make the offer) on this very rare and desirable machine from my personal collection. I have no intention on placing the machine on eBay, so I invite offers via email. (I will be happy to communicate via telephone, but offers must be via email) Machine Details:Model: Edison School (Opera) Phonograph Serial No.: 3510 Horn: Original 11 Panel Other: There are approximately 32 Edison School Operas known to exist. This example is believed to be the only known example to be 100% original and complete (retaining the original horn, stand, and the 4 boxes/drawers with their lids). The machine works well. I believe the paint on the horn to be original (my understanding when I purchased the machine is that someone had cone over the gold lines on the horn but what was on top had been removed to reveal the original lines). ---Pictures available on request. Just email me and I'll send them through--- Conditions/Terms:Offers submitted by email to marioaf@optusnet.com.au by no later than 11:59pm Friday 5th November (PST). Please submit offers which DO NOT include shipping or insurance charges. Offers in US$ (US dollars). Payment (deposit) of $1000 after mutual acceptance of offer.

Hmmmm I have an Edison Concert Cylinder that I have had for years, which I've always been certain was a Chinese song... Anyone know if there were Chinese concert cylinders?

This is the "Kle-nit" record brush, and it's adjustable to fit any soundbox. This is a semi-automatic brake which I think may have been produced by Paillard? It is set by moving the large bar, and activated by the tonearm. It came with a machine I recently bought which uses Paillard running gear, but was an after-market addition as the machine still retained the original brake. It was however used as standard equiptment on larger "Victor Talking Machines" produced here in Australia during the mid to late 20's for Palings Music Stores, which also used Paillard running gear. This is the World Record Controller, which we've all seen before, used for constant speed World records. And lastly, these are not "accessories" as such, but they're pretty cool so I thought I'd include them anyway :-) Hey Shane, Nice collection of accessories there. I Like the auto-stop. I have an aftermarket type that I need to dig out. Thanks for the pics. Mario

Hi Guys, Some of you may have seen this machine before. I now have it set up as I was hoping it could be. - the 4 thumb screws which hold the reproducer on are replacements (spot on identical to the originals). - the swarf drawer and wood drawer rails (that's the one sitting under the mandrel) are replacements (again spot on) - The rubber on the ear peices is also new. The machine has only been cleaned no new finish whatsoever (except the replacement swarf drawer). I bought a correct age appropriate speaking tube from eBay. The machine runs nicely!!! - Serial No. 5142 NOTE: the early standard speaker and carriage with extra recording protection pins. Cheers, Mario
