Hello Everyone,
I am trying to get some details on my great grandmothers phonograph. I have a serial number 795-789 and it reads Edison Standard Phonograph. After some research I found that its possibly a Model C or E. Can anyone help me with more details?
Thank you for your time,
Stephanie

Have you checked the Antique Phonograph Society website? They have a most informative article; "The Spotter's Guide to the Edison Standard".
. Does the decal in front say "Edison Standard Phonograph", or simply "Edison"? If the former, then you have a model A, or an early model B.
. Is there a speed control knob above the bedplate? If so, it's a model A; if not, it's a model B or later (unless it happens to be an ICS / ITS model, which would also have a special 'repeating' attachment in front).
. Is there an end gate that closes on the mandrel (the part on which the cylinder goes)? Models A and B had an end gate; models C and later did not.
Photos of the Standard would also help in identification. Hope you find this information useful.

Post a good Digital picture of the Dataplate, then a good picture of the machine in question, and we will be able to tell you all about it...
If you don't post the required pictures, Then there's not much we can tell you.
