What a super machine that is. I've seen another that had better paint but 
this one looks like it's really been there. To me this has artifact beauty. 
The wear and tear is honest and nobody tried to 'touch it up'. It looks like 
it could suvive sending by UPS too. It wouldn't take much to talk myself 
into one..I'd 'have' to find a place for it.

Here is another really late serial number for an Edison AN. Serial number 
3116. Highest I have seen.

On the special machines Edison started the serial numbers with 1001, like the 
Amberola 60 and 80.  With regards to the number known you have to rely upon 
other collectors to provide serial numbers and with rare machines this is 
normally not possible.  
 
I am still looking for O reproducer information on reproducers with serial 
numbers below 5000.

[Phono-L] Edison Army /Navy DD

2011-05-27 Thread DeeDee Blais
I really like my Army/Navy machine and would think $800 for a complete example 
in good shape would be a good price.  I have owned three since I started 
collecting. The last one was purchased from Peter and it went to a Portland 
friend.  I remember reading a story about Edison donating one to be used on an 
air ship.  The first time the air ship docked, the Edison was left behind to 
reduce weight.  I own three Diamond Disks, an A-250, a long play console, and 
the Army/Navy machine.  If I could keep only one, it would be the Army/Navy 
machine.  All examples that I have seen have been army green,like mine.  Has 
anyone seen a blue machine?  Jerry Blais

I agree with Jerry. We like our A  N model for its scarcity and history. We
found ours for about $800 with the military company's insignia stenciled on
the lid. It was complete and in nice condition. We sold the one we had
before it for about half that price , but it was not complete and looked
more like it had been through a war.

Darrell,

I saw a rather distressed collection years ago where someone sawed
off the legs of an A-100 - came close to the correct size and all. :-)

Talk to Stu Marsh ( durium...@aol.com ), he has a very nice
Army-Navy in his collection.  Maybe he can help you with any questions you
have.

Thanks,

Tim
