"Opera" 1911- 1913

"Opera" 1911- 1913 The Opera, later called the "Concert" (not the same as the early Concert), is a four-minute machine designed to take place of the Idelia in the Edison lineup. The mahogany case and dark maroon bed-plate were standard, but oak case were also available. The double-spring motor moved the mandrel underneath the fixed reproducer, which permitted the heavy horn to be mounted without the benefit of a crane. The opera sold for $90.
