Edison B-19 "Chalet"

When Edison introduced the Diamond Disc Phonographs (officially called the New Edison Phonograph), he included table model phonographs. Unfortunately, these early table top phonographs were unsatisfactory due to certain design features such as the belt driven motor. In 1919, Edison introduced a new table model phonograph called the Chalet which used the same motor as the small upright models. This new model gave the performance expected of an Edison product. As a cost cutting measure, the cabinet of the Chalet was made of Gumwood, stained in a natural color or to simulate mahogany. This was Edison's only Gumwood phonograph.

For some reason, however, these improved table models are scarce today, perhaps because Edison instructed his dealers to discourage sales of this model in favor of the more profitable larger phonographs.

When new, the B-19 sold for $95 and remained in the catalog for several years.
