Hi Walt,In April 1926 Edison came out with 4 long play consoles, the 1 had a 100 horn, the 2 had a 150 horn, the 3 and 4 had the 250 horn found in the lab models. The 3C cost $250 new. In May 1927 the consolette came out. They were discontinued after August 1927 when the two Edisonic models came out. If you want me to scan and send all the info from the Frow Edison Disc book let me know.From Tim Gracyk's web site:The Edison "LP" (long-playing) disc machines do pop up once in a great while. These console or "low boy" machines were made in 1926, lasting only a year on the market. It was Edison's attempt to introduce a long-playing record system. The company wanted something new to compete against radio and also the other companies' switch to electrical recording. But the experiment failed because the records, with 400 grooves to the inch, were too fragile to stand up to daily use. Also, one had to do a lot of winding to get the 36 foot long motor springs ready to play for 20 minutes for 10-inch discs and 40 minutes for 12-inch discs! These records, which played at 80 rpm, wore out too quickly and were too faint in volume, compared to Victor or Columbia records of the day, not to mention radio. Today, Edison 10- and 12-inch "LP" records sell for around $300 each if in pristine condition . The machines today range from $1500 to $2000. Remember, the machines must come equipped with the rare long-play reproducers. The words "long play" were stamped onto each reproducer.Steve> I was hoping that someone might have a web link or other information about> the Edison 3-C.
