The plate reads \"Edison Standard Phonograph, Combination Type\" and lists patents through 1905.
What\'s included
• Edison Standard Phonograph in an oak case with the original gold \"Edison Standard Phonograph\" decal
• Oak lid with brass-finish carry handle
• Original hand crank
• Black horn with brass bell
• Model H 4-Minute reproducer (shown in photo)
• About 10 Edison cylinder records in their original cardboard boxes, including Gold Moulded and Blue Amberol titles. Photos show the ones I have; I have not played them.
Condition and function — please read
• The crank turns and the gears and mandrel rotate freely. A video is available on request.
• I was not able to get sound out of it. I\'m not a specialist, so I can\'t say whether the cause is the reproducer, the stylus or diaphragm, or something else. Sold as-is, for parts or restoration, with no guarantee of function.
• Case shows age-appropriate wear: scratches, darkened finish, and some wear on the decals. The base has screws, and the underside shows normal old wear.
• Missing: the shaver (recording attachment). I have not checked for other missing parts.
• Cylinders are 100+ years old and I haven\'t tested them. Cases show wear. Sold as-is.
