Lot  1

Edison Opera

This is the fancier mahogany opera. This opera belonged to CAPS member Jim Carino and I bought it just before we stopped having meetings. It's in the same condition as when I bought it, I didn't change anything. The reserve is exactly what I paid for it 2 years ago...$5,000. If the bidding gets close I may let it go. All original except for the horn and elbow. Plays fantastic and has the expected amount of wear and tear to the paint and gold lines and finish. The inside of the wood horn is kind of bumpy, I don't know why. Finish is original but the lid has had a coat of clear put on it. Reproducer plays very loud and clear. Plays 4 min Blue Amberol cylinders only. I would really like to keep this machine with our membership.

Lot  2

Brunswick Phonograph

This is the Brunswick all in one, approx. 1919. With the double Ultona reproducer. Plays 78s and Pathé and Edison Diamond Discs. But to play Pathé and DD you will need to get the Pathé sapphire and have a new diamond put in the t bar. Both sides of the reproducer have been rebuilt with new gaskets. There is some wear and flaking to the nickel. Beautiful fancy cabinet with the usual amount of wear. Very quiet 4 spring motor. Comes with the original Brunswick key. The little push/pull rod for the volume baffle is missing..easy fix. I'm not sure about the front doors, they aren't the same as the doors in the old advertising so they may be replaced. I'm just not sure because they fit perfect. Plays very loud and clear. The cabinet is oak and very heavy and solid. Decal is perfect. Top has a couple of light ring marks on it. I would like a reserve of $300.00 for it but if the bidding gets close I may let it go.
