Unfortunately, the earlier table top phonographs were unsatisfactory due to certain design features such as the belt driven motor. Edison then introduced a new table model phonograph called the B-19 Chalet which used the same wind-up motor as the small upright models. This new model gave the performance expected of an Edison product. As a cost cutting measure, the cabinet of the Chalet was made of Gumwood, stained in a natural color ( this item ), or to simulate mahogany. This was Edison's only Gumwood phonograph.
