The Standard F was the last of the Standard series to be produced so they will command more money, but $6100.00? I do recall a Standard F was sold by a local auction house in North Carolina in May 2009 for $900 or so not too far from where the ebay Standard F was sold. The standard F at auction was very dirty, dark and it came with the original Model S reproducer. I can't say this is the same machine. The one on ebay came with a model H and not the S it was supposed to come with. So it appears along the way the reproducer and carriage maybe were switched out.

Eebae is great for collecting pics of things phonographic. I just need to resist the urge to bid for the heckuvvit, because too many times I've been surprised & won something I didn't REALLY need (the $118 perfect Thinkpad and yet another disc 'Standard A' come to mind... ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tim Gray" <timsanti...@northstate.net> To: "Antique Phonograph List" <phono-l@oldcrank.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2011 8:58 PM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] $6100.01 Edison Standard Phonograph > Wow!
