Hello All A friend of mine is desperately trying to pry my Edison Diamond Disc Phonograph model A-250 out of my clenched hands, and in order to do this he would like to sell this maroon Gem. It has been totally and professionally repainted, with new decals. There is a model K reproducer that needs a new 4 minute sapphore (it plays but with a small echo). The cabinet lid veneer has been replaced nicely, but the grain orientation goes the wrong direction. There is a repro horn as well as an oriignal, but the original has a Fireside horn bell soldered to a cone end, it is not two piece. The repro Gem horn is nice. You can see pics here:

Not as high as an original painted model I wouldn't think, but if you want a nice machine to play stuff on and you don't care about original paint, it is a winner. The paint is a bit darker than it is in the pictures, Thanks John _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
