[Phono-L] For Sale - Diminutive Floor Crane - All Original!
You saw it in the Antique Phonograph Society's December issue, now it is available today! Over time, I will be selling a few of the items I own that are already documented, or will document in the Antique Phonograph Society Magazine in the articles - I saw it, and I Never Saw It In The Catalog. Today, we have one of those items. It is the Diminutive Floor Crane. This crane stands just under 36 inches, but will extend to over 50 inches. Almost every aspect of it is of a diminutive size, about ¾ size of a regular-sized floor crane. As I shared in the article, while very cool and small, it will function successfully as a floor crane for your machine. However, the largest horns would be somewhat precarious on this crane. Best to stick with a smaller 24 to 36 inch horn! The price is $250 plus whatever it costs to ship to you. I have a couple pictures available to send directly to you if you are interested. No PayPal on this, but checks are fine. Please contact me with inquiries at: mshawnorou...@gmail.com Thank you Shawn -- Shawn O'Rourke (248) 915 0954 ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
[Phono-L] For Sale - Cleanest Drip Pan Gem I've Ever Seen!
Today, we have one of those items that hardly comes available. It is a Drip Pan Gem. To add to the allure, this is absolutely the nicest drip pan Gem I have ever seen in 30 years of collecting. The paint is beautiful. The pen striping is nearly 100%. The nickel is bright. It is a 100% original machine that is definitely a collector grade of the highest order! This is Edison's first model Gem. It is called a drip pan Gem by collectors today as it has a metal drip pan under the motor. Edison did not produce a case for this machine. It is as simple and elegant as you get. As well, these are hard to find, almost impossible in this condition. It plays about as well as most other drip pan Gems, which is only okay. The motor runs smooth, everything is present and functional. The reproducer (unique to this type of machine) has been rebuilt with the correct, French glass diaphragm. I can't express what a beautiful example this is of a very hard to find machine. Check out the pictures and see if you agree! Even advanced collectors keep these in their collections. They are one of the earliest examples of Edison products being produced for a short time starting in 1899 (The home came out in 1898). I have several pictures available that I can send directly to your email address if you are interested. The price is $1250.00 plus whatever it costs to ship to you fully insured.
