A nice looking Brunswick Panatrope Gerona model at a seemingly reasonable price.

$150 CDN.

It is a common enough model. I have seen lots of them go by on CL and FBM.

I suppose what is interesting here are the unusual packages (7, 4 open, 3 sealed) of needles that accompany the machine and the records.

I have never seen nor heard of a Gerona model. :?

Were these maybe for the Canadian market only?

I don't know. But I have seen a number of Panatrope machines in this configuration go by. Brunswicks were manufactured in Canada, so maybe you are right.

I think it was referred to as the Gerona Model, which was shortened to GeronaMo...
