Value of Restored Phonograph
By Damon Atchison

A local antique shop has a couple of cabinet phonographs.  They
are $400 each, and restored and working.  I believe they are Edisons.
The cabinets look like new, the felt on the turntable is new, and
everything is polished.

I am considering buying one, as restoring one would probably be more
hassle and cost more in the end.  What are some signs of a good machine
and a good restoration?
