Re: Research: BS Graphophone Information Requested
Great thread George!!! Here are some pictures of my Columbia BS machines. The one without the decal is serial number 160093 and has BS on the ID plate. I am patiently waiting for the correct horn for it. The one with the decal is serial number 506491 and also has BS on the ID plate. It is all original with a set of keys. This one came screwed onto the nice little table and the finish matches.
George, did Columbia offer these tables as an accessory?

Thanks Ken!
Columbia didn't offer a table like that in its catalogs, but a retailer was at liberty to offer whatever he wished. Of course, the original purchaser could have paired the machine with the table.

Hi George,
160107 has both the bead and original decal, which doesn't make sense since the serial number is early (pre decal). Perhaps the machine has been swapped out. It's my father's machine and I don't have a picture yet.

John, you're right - that doesn't make sense at all. I'll look forward to seeing pictures. I'm betting that decal isn't original.
