[Phono-L] Edison Opera

[Chris Kocsis]

Hi all,

A valuable tool is to google a snippet of text from a fishy listing.  I 
searched for "superior Edison Opera, introduced in November 1911, 
possibly gave the best sound of any contemporary instrument, cylinder or 
disc" and was led direct to this site -- which is where the photos are from:

http://www.worldofgramophones.com/edison_opera_phonograph.html

This is beyond fishy.
