Personal message:
This doesn't look like a real cygnet to me. The hanging mechanism is wrong (on
the horn). Probably a radio horn. Is it a Music Master??

Summary
Here's the most stunning Edison Home phonograph ensemble I've ever seen.
It was acquired from the estate of an avid Edison phonograph collector, and it
was -- I would imagine -- the centerpiece of his
collection. The machine itself is a "D" model, one of the
later Home versions, and it is simply gorgeous -- both inside and out.
Moreover, it features a large copper (yes, copper) cygnet horn that
-- while nice to look at in a photograph -- will leave you slack-jawed when you
see it in person. The cabinet, the lid, the bedplate detailing -- every
aspect of this machine is just extraordinary. I've uploaded a dozen
hi-resolution photographs, which I would encourage you to enlarge in
order to get a better idea of the condition of the
metalwork, motor and cabinetry. I think you'll agree that
they're second to none. Needless to say, this set
is in excellent working condition, although set-up can
be kind of tricky because of the horn. Still, it's well worth
the effort, as I don't think you'll ever see another Edison cylinder machine
that's this striking, or whose condition is this superb. It comes with a
4-minute "H" reproducer, a rear-mounted cygnet crane, a swivel adapter and
elbow, a 4 minute cylinder and a reproduction of the original Babson Bros.
instruction manual. Buyer prepays and includes shipping. Paypal
okay with confirmed address. Please note: this machine will have to
be shipped in 2 (and possibly 3) separate boxes, so freight costs
will not be cheap, particularly if you're bidding from overseas.
