EXCEPTIONAL EDISON "OPERA" PHONOGRAPH A dealer's pick An old-timer among phonograph dealers, a gentlemen 'who has been pursuing the lure of the wax cylinder for some twenty years, picked this specimen as the finest Edison Opera model he found during that time. The instrument is in choice original condition complete with the wooden horn and the top cover (not shown in our photograph). The Opera was well cared for originally and is in excellent playing condition today. The Opera is the elite of the Edison phonographs. Unlike most other models the reproducer arm does not move. Rather, the mandrel and cylinder are moved beneath the fixed-position reproducer and tone arm. The Opera was the top Edison phonograph of its type. It sold for a substantial premium originally, with the result that production was limited. -92- This Opera is offered at a premium price·· about $100 more than we usually sell Operas for ... but this one is worth it' We hope you'll agree. 8495.00 complete with a dozen cylinders. (Stock No. PHO.4035) The Edison Eclipse is a pretty phonograph - and one with lots of nostalgia to go with it! And, this is a very nice example. It is ready to move into your home and enjoy! Buy it now. EDISON ECLIPSE COIN PHONOGRAPH The Edison Eclipse is one of the rarer early 20th century coin operated cylinder phonographs. Powered by a small electric motor, these instruments were operated by a nickel and used regular 2-minute wax cylinders. To help entice nickels into the slot the phonograph works are visible from the top, front, and both sides through windows of beveled glass. The cabinet is of attractive quartered oak with a carved lyre ornament on the front center. The Eclipse has been refinished and reconditioned throughout, so the next owner will have nothing to do to it - except fiji its coin box with nickels! Instruments such as this were once used in phonograph parlors - an interesting type of business that flourished from about 1890 to 1905. These were rooms or galleries containing sometimes dozens of coin operated phonographs lined up in rows. To prevent uller acoustic confusion, many Eclipses were equipped with individual earphones (rather than a horn like the one we offer). Often the phonograph parlor offered the patron a chance to try his luck on a Mills Dewey or Caille Roulette gambling machine or, perhaps, the chance to see the flickering pictures of a Mutoscope was more appealing. This Edison Eclipse· a prize instrument in really top condition should be snapped up quickly. Telephone us now and be first! $795.00 (Stock No. PHO-4061) YOUR BUSINESS IS APPRECIATED!
