Item Details
Description
The identification of early coin-ops can be difficult, as cabinets could be manufactured by independent or regional companies and then fitted with Edison works. By November 1889 Edison was advertising a machine known as the Edison Coin-Slot M, which evolved into a series of coin-operated electrical phonographs. These machines employed a Class M phonograph, advanced by an electric motor. By 1906 there were at least three similar models: the Windsor, running off battery current; the Eclipse, running off direct current; and the Acme, running off alternating current. This example is believed to be an Edison Coin-Slot M. With complete class M mechanism in oak case, with replaced marquee and identification sign. This is a rare coin slot, not many exist today, and this example will need some attention to work correctly, as the return is not operating correctly. A great survivor and a standout in any phonograph or arcade collection. This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made. Condition: (Very Good). Dimensions: 58 - 1/2" x 26 - 1/2" x 16 - 3/4".
