This is a wonderful, fairly hard to find, Edison Amberola DX internal horn phonograph dating from about 1914. It was the last and best Amberola "X" table top series phonograph produced. This model was the smallest and cheapest table top model of its' day selling for about $30. The model I am selling has quarter sawn oak case and is in working condition - the handle turns appropriately and the motor works. There is no needle with this item and a replacement will be needed. I assume once the needle is in place the item will produce sound. The top opens and closes smoothly and the internal motor raises manually when the handle is removed. Apparently this model was designed to play only 4-minute plastic Blue Ambersol cylinder records & it purportedly yielded a superior sound reproduction. The item for sale has a metal plate attached below the reproducer arm with, among other things, the model "DX" imprinted (see last photograph). The dimension of the oak case (which is in good shape) are 14 1/2 inches high, 12 inches wide and 15 inches front to back. I will include 3 Blue cylinders with the machine (see 6 th photo from beginning). The only defects I can see 1) the gold metal grate in front of the internal horn has wear and does not fit very snugly into its grooves - this problem is easily addressed 2) there are 2 screws missing where
