The Edison Home Model D Phonograph
The Edison Home Model D phonograph was first introduced in 1908. It played both two and four minute cylinder phonograph records. This is the first model Home Phonograph that used the wide moulding on the base to give it a more “stocky” apperance. While the 14″ black and brass horn and the 11 panel Morning Glory horn were mostly sold with this Phonograph, the Cygnet Horn, #10, was also available. The case was approx. 11″ high by 16″ wide by 9″ deep. Depending on the horn and attachements, the Edison Home Model D cost $45.00 new.
Other changes in the Model D included the decal on the front of the machine, The Model D says “Edison”, while the Model A says “Edison Home Phonograph”. The Model D has a shorter case then the A, and the bedplate(metal area under the cylinder)on the Model A is a lot longer then the Model D.
