In case you missed it, the Edison Parlor tinfoil phono sold on eBay yesterday for $50,025, including the 15% buyers penalty. Not bad for an Edison that won't play a single cylinder record. ;) Ray From Amberola75 Mon May 24 10:40:01 2004 From: Amberola75 ([email protected]) Date: Sun Dec 24 13:10:41 2006 Subject: [Phono-L] EDISON TRIUMPH PHONOGRAPH OAK CASE CYGNET HORN MODEL E Message-ID: <[email protected]>

Just like a woodgrained elbow I have. So I emailed the seller for horn pictures. They of course sent them to me(and I suppose a few others) and I saw a beauty of a cygnet. Included with the horn pics was a closeup of the reproducer which confirmed the early O reproducer.

If so I wonder if he was selling it in his shop and if so how long? Maybe no one was interested in it and that is why it was put up on ebay? It wouldn't surprise me if his asking price was a bit lower than what it brought on ebay.
