A discussion on another thread has prompted me to ask owners of BS Graphophones for help. Would you all be kind enough to answer these three questions for me?
1) Is your data plate stamped "BS?"
2) What's the serial number?
3) Does the cabinet have (A) a decal, or does it have (B) a bead routed into the front panel?
You're welcome to answer via PM or here in this thread. Please include your full name if you'd like to be acknowledged in a future published article.
You may also send photos if you wish - I'm always happy to see BS Graphophones!
Sincere thanks in advance,
George P.
