Hi All
I got a call from a local antique store, someone needs their 'Edison
Victrola' spruced up because they have a buyer for it. I called the owner, who
sounds like she is about sixty-something, and she told me she inherited it from
her dad. I expected it to be a Diamond Disc machine, but it is a cylinder
player. I haven't seen it yet, but the fact that she already has a buyer and
that it is going to pass through my hands before it goes to its new home makes
me think it will be something really choice like an Idelia, and that she will
have sold it to the other party for like $250 or something and I will have no
chance to rescue it! It comes with several cylinders too, the ming fairly
boggles at what could be there, when a machine passes from its original
family...Oh, but the one drawback is that she says she doesn't have any needles
for it....
