The Model B came out in October 1905. Usually found with a banner front, this one may have been re-cased later and was upgraded with the cygnet horn and large carriage accommodate the model O and later the Diamond B reproducer.

Introduced in March 1898. This early model known as the “Square Top Standard” sports an early automatic reproducer and probably dates before 1900 when the more familiar “new style” cabinet was introduced with the more familiar rounded case with domed lid. It cost about $20. It plays two minute cylinders.

The Gem was introduced in 1899. This model D dates from about 1908. This combination machine has a model K reproducer which can be alternated to play both two and four minute records. It sold for $15 in this configuration.

Introduced in July 1909 this particular machine is very early based on the low serial number and pin striped bed plate which is rarely seen.

The Model D was introduced in October 1908 and played 2&4 minute records with accompanying Models C & H reproducers.

The high serial number and more common indicates that this is a later issue machine but with the standard red Fireside horn probably left the factory in 1911 or 1912.

Introduced in the Spring of 1901 and offered in this banner front case probably until about July 1906 when it was replaced with the Model B.

The Model E Triumph was introduced in September 1910. It has a triple spring motor and the model O two and four minute reproducer fitted into a new large carrier arm carrying the reproducer across the top of the mandrel instead of at a 45 degree angle as the earlier models had. It sold for $65 with the black metal 11 panel cygnet horn as shown here. The optional oak music master horn would have increased the price by $10, to $75.

Essentially a heavily embellished Triumph, the Ideal was introduced in October 1907 at a whopping $125. The name was changed to Idelia within a couple of months to address with trademark issues. It could be upgraded with two/four minute gearing starting in 1908 and with the large carrier arm and O reproducer after September 1910. A cygnet horn would have also been available from 1908. The owner of this machine however opted to upgrade to the two and four minute gearing and large carrier arm but kept the original straight Ideal horn and crane.

The Opera was introduced in late 1911. This was the top of the line Edison horned phonograph of the time. It sold for $100 with the matching mahogany music master horn, was fitted with a moldel L saphire reproducer for paying four minute wax amberol records or later the Model A diamond reproducer for the celluloid blue amberol cylinders. It could not play two minute records.

Released in December 1912 at $75 and available through 1914 for School usage, the school machine sold in very small numbers and is sought after today.

Introduced in December 1909 this one has some special non-standard features like the gently closing lid support and spiral crank, most likely not coming from the factory.

The Amberola 1A, first 500 or so in this cabinet with Lyre grill came out in 1909 priced at a whopping $200!

This second cabinet style with the first version of the Rococo grill appeared in 1910.

Introduced in August 1912. Like the Amberola 1B above, it would have been offered first with the model L and later the diamond A reproducer. Priced at $125.

One of the first of the “new Edison disc phonographs” introduced in about April 1914 at a price of $150, this was the only disc phonograph carry the oxidised bronze diamond disc reproducer. It utilised the same cabinet as the Amberola III cylinder machine.

The A250 cost $250 new in 1912. This one in mahogany has various features which indicate it was one of the last of the run, probably manufactured in late 1914. About 10,000 of these were made.

Introduced in late 1912, this is one of the first Edison disc phonographs, probably one of th first 25 of the type made. It was fitted into the cabinet of the Amberola I. It sold for a whopping $300 in 1912. Some interesting things about this machine: The cabinet was fitted for an Amberola I mechanism and according to Edison factory memos was retrofitted to accomodate the “new disc mechanism”. The bottom record drawer was designed to fit 12 inch diamond disc records even though except for sample records and the much later Edison long play records, (1926), Edison never produced a 12 inch disc. Howeve in late 1912 it was anticipated that they would market 12 inch discs.

Introduced in 1916, based on serial number, this was produced in that year.

First came out as the C250 in about 1915. Updated with new standardized disc mechanism and released in this version in 1919.

Introduced about 1921 mainly to help sell more discs.
