I was the only bidder at an auction about 12 years ago when I bought my departed CC-32 for $40.00. All I did was clean it an polish it as it was in excellent shape, but my wife made it clear that it was taking up too much space in the house and had to go. I am guessing it was probably Edison's largest Console Model, not including any of the Art Models of course. That summer we held a yard sale, put on a nice period Jazz number by the Broadway Dance Orchestra, a fellow walked by, fell in love with it, paid me cash, loaded it on his truck and away he went, my wife was happy, he was happy, and I had more space for some smaller machines.
