1912 EDISON Diamond Disc A250 Upright – Crank Record Player Phonograph + Records. I believe the wood on this is Oak. Local Pick-up only – located in Wilmington NC. Beautiful Edison in working condition. Measures 21? Wide, 22 1/2? Deep, and 51 tall. This can be picked up in Wilmington, NC. Below is some information I found about these machines. Introduced in 1912, the A250 (later B250) was one of the first of Edison’s entries into the disc machine market. Most examples were fitted with a double spring motor. The cabinet was based on Edison’s Amberola I cylinder machine, but although it shares many design elements, it is not identical and an Amberola I mechanism cannot be swapped into the cabinet. The 250 nomenclature refered to its original price in dollars, a naming practice favored by Edison with many of his models. Available in oak or mahogany, the A250 and B250 enjoyed only a modest success, and was phased out around 1915. As with most Edison premium machines, the hardware was gold plated. This one in mahogany. About 10,000 of these were made.
