Early Collector Alert! Near-Impossible Rarity: Edison Standard “Model A” with Original Polyphone

We don’t see them like this often. This early Edison Standard Model A Phonograph (1901-1903) is a magnificent example of a very brief production run. Highly collectible, seldom found! Note the rare two-clip bedplate—a detail that instantly sets this machine apart from the more common versions. What you’re looking at is a survivor. The entire machine is all original—the smooth-running mechanics, the beautiful finish, and the cabinet. It even retains its original, seldom-seen lid. The lines are clean, the patina is deep and rich; it simply looks, feels, and operates like a cherished heirloom.

Now, for the main event: the Polyphone attachment. This is the innovation that every serious collector craves. Frustrated by low volume, Edison created this fascinating dual-reproducer system to bring twice the sound to any room. It’s an iconic piece of acoustic history that perfectly illustrates Edison’s drive to solve problems. This particular machine delivers on that promise. It comes complete with two high-quality, matched P. Baker reproduction reproducers and period funnel horns. The result is a warm, powerful, and truly enveloping sound that brings cylinder recordings to life. This is your chance to own a machine that is a testament to early Edison engineering, acoustic ambition, and visual beauty. Don’t hesitate—a piece this original and this rare will not wait.
