An antique Thomas Edison Diamond Disc “Official Laboratory Model" phonograph featuring a dark wood console cabinet with a pull-out lower drawer for record storage. Dating from the late 1910s to the 1920s, this iconic piece of American audio history is housed in a stately, dark wood console cabinet that doubles as an elegant piece of fine antique furniture. Thomas Edison designed these Laboratory Models to perfectly replicate the exact acoustic tones of live performers. Unlike standard phonographs of the era that used steel needles, this premium system features a permanent diamond-tipped stylus designed to play the exceptionally thick, 1/4-inch Edison Diamond Disc records. Dimensions: 50" H x 20.25" W x 25" D.
