I decided a month or so ago to part with my Edison Idealia. I offerd it to some of my close phongraph friends, but have had no takers. I have now decided to offer it to the list before I ebay it or??? If anyone has a real interest in adding a great Idelia to their collection please contact me off list. A brief description is as follows. Bed plate and and crank oxidized finish is in my opinion in great original condition. It has a nickle plated "O" reproducer which I most all I have seen has. Base cabinet has been refinished, Lid is a replacement, but has the original and correct handle. It has a Spruce cygent horn, bottom of crane is original , but top portion looks thin to me , but is old, and I was assured that it all was original when I purchased it years ago. I believe that Horn Elbow has original paint , and in my opinion the spruce horn is spectatcular on the machine. The Spruce bell has been refinished and has the black stripe on the outside, whcih I ma told only came on the disk horns. So several experts have told me that it is a cut down disk bell, and others have said not ir it could be right. I have nver cared one way or the other as it is fantastic looking and goes very well with the bed plate, etc. Price will be negotiated , but will be quite a bit less than the one recently sold on ebay. Machine can be shipped at buyers expense or delivered to Union free. If anyone has a serious interest, please contact me off list. antqflea at yahoo.com or call me at 530 945 2221. I am also selling some other great machines and cabinets.
