Late in the 1920s, the Edison Company produced a series of combination type radio-phonographs. The C-1 was the most expensive model, and is extremely rare today. The C-2 was designed for the upper middle class and contained an electric turntable and an RCA radio. Existing examples of this scarce radio phonograph, which was made for only a few months before the Edison Phonograph company closed in 1929, are thought to number in the dozens. This C-2 might be the nicest original example out there. The phonograph works well including speed and volume controls. It uses replaceable steel needles on an electric pickup tone arm. The radio turns on and hums but does not seem to be receiving a station. It might just need an antennae hook up.The cabinet is nice original walnut finish on fluted legs. Contains 4 original record albums behind 2 hinged doors with teardrop pulls. Power cord has been replaced with a period correct silk wrapped cord. Comes with a reproduction operating manual and other items. Don’t miss this beauty. Measures 49.25″ tall, 28″ wide, 17.5″ deep.
