The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

This is another machine I've decided to let go because it will never find space in the new place once we move... a nice, early Columbia Regent Junior... this is the machine that resembles a library table, with a large pull out drawer on one side with the motor and playing area, and two doors on the other side to control volume from the horn (note, doors rather than louvers, as this early model predated the Victor lawsuits that forced Columbia to modify the design)... the mahogany finish is totally original and shows only some light wear, mainly on the top surface area... the motor runs well, and the reproducer has been rebuilt by Steve Medved. The other obvious nice thing about this model is that it's still a table, with plenty of room for one or two other machines on top. I'd like $600 for this, as that's basically what I have into it.

This is located in southern NJ just outside Philadelphia PA and would have to be picked up unless you take care of all the shipping arrangements... it's too big for my vehicle to get it to the Wayne show, but if you're attending, we're only about an hour and a half south of there.

I'll upload some photos over the next few days. Send me a message or email brianu73 at hotmail if interested.

Some photos... like the VE-XVII I'm also selling, this is another quite clean but unrestored, untouched original... aside from the steve Medved rebuilt reproducer.

last bump... is it the size?

This is much more manageable than a full-size Regent!

What are the dimensions (length, width, and height)? My dad picked one of these up that is missing the legs, I was surprised at how much smaller it is than the non-junior Regent

As a lover of console type phonographs, one thing I learned was when you want to sell one, they're like a dog that just won't hunt!

This one did... it sold a few years ago.
