He has asked me to list it on eBay or sell it any other way I could, as he needs the money. I believe that he is asking a very fair price based on the condition , etc, so thought I would offer it up to the list first. He lives approximately 2 1/2 hours from me and I will not be picking it up and inspecting it for a week or so. He is asking $3,750.00 for it. The last ones i have seen sell went for around $5000+. I have not seen this machine for some time so my description is from memory and talking to him. The case has been refinished , and while the glass is old the woodwork on the glass lid has all been very professionally replaced with old quartered oak. I can't remember for sure if the pulls are original or replaced and he does not know , nor since he is elderly can he describe them to me very well so i can make a judgment, I am pretty sure though that they are not the original ones. The below cylinder cabinet is the standard HS cabinet , but it does not have the applied carving above the top drawer as i have seen on most of them. i has the pressed design that you generally see on the cylinder cabinet alone. It is however my understanding and in looking a HS big picture ad I believe that the Hm UG originally could have been offered with this style cabinet also. The Home model A's bed plate as i remember it is in fair condition , but certainly presentable. I am told it had taken a beating in a shed with the lid off prior to his purchase about 10 years ago. I don't remember the crank, but know it is not the normal nickel crank which came with these. He has a repo horn with it. I believe this is a really good deal and if i didn't have a real nice one already I would be buying it. I think this is a great opportunity to buy one at a reasonable price, if you have a desire to own one. By the way all money is going to him I have not added anything on for my troubles. If anyone has an interest in it please contact me off list at [email protected] or call me on my cell 530 945 2221. brice From [email protected] Fri Sep 7 23:53:45 2007 From: [email protected] ([email protected]) Date: Fri Sep 7 23:57:49 2007 Subject: [Phono-L] Edison Model H what? Message-ID: <[email protected]> In a message dated 9/7/2007 2:30:06 PM Pacific Daylight Time, [email protected] writes: ANyone know the approx value of an Edison Model H with a green horn? Plays 2 or 4 minute cylinders. The green horn has hand painted flowers, which I doubt is original. It's for sale locally for $650. THanks, Mike Greetings Mike: There is no such Edison domestic Phonograph as a Model H. The only Model H items I know of are a Model H coin operated machine and a Model H 4 minute reproducer. You see this misidentification all the time on eBay. People think the machine model is what is written on the reproducer tail. Triumph machines went to a Model G, Homes to an F, Standards to a G, Gems to an E, and Firesides to a B. Not an H among them. Assuming your machine is a Model D Standard equipped with a Model H reproducer and with a green painted Babson horn and crane, the eBay prices average $400 to $600 depending on condition and horn decoration. Babson horns can go from 6 panels up to 11 panels as commonly offered on eBay. The small plain horns do not command the prices of the largest 11 panel horns done in translucent clear coat with hand painted flowers. TTCo horns go for a bit more depending on their condition and decoration. Occasionally you will see a larger brass belled Standard Amplifying Horn painted green rather than black. There are many variables in determining Edison machine value. You need to supply more information for a more accurate estimate. Is this an eBay sale? If so, give the number and knowledgeable collectors on this learned list can give you a fairly good estimate of value. One eBay effect is the continued lowering of prices on common cylinder machines. My guess is that is due to a lack of decent cylinder records to play. There is just something uninspiring about Toots Paka's Hawaiians. Best wishes, Al Edison Collector of cylinder machines... Who wouldn't know how to work a flat record machine... ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com From [email protected] Fri Sep 7 19:19:33 2007 From: [email protected] (Mario Frazzetto) Date: Sat Sep 8 21:03:28 2007 Subject: [Phono-L] re Apperance on ABC's Collectors....

It was thoroughly enjoyable, every moment. Not only does it provide plenty of opportunity to realize the superb quality of your collection, but I think it's great that sufficient interest exists on the Collectors program for this sort of material. As for "mistakes", if any, they aren't apparent.
