FOR SALE: Yankee Prince $ 1250 US

[Bruce]

Excellent example of this Columbia Client machine.

Recently serviced plays very nicely through a full record - see photos for condition.

I will ship in two separate boxes and from US address if USA buyer.

Nice machine. Does this have the lug like you see on a Busy Bee? These early machines had the lug and they were the successor to the Busy Bee front mount.

You are right this machine once had the Busy Bee like lug. It is no longer there but you can still see the slot in the turn table.

I've never seen a Yankee Prince with the Busy Bee lug still intact. Within a very short time after these machines were made available, the production of Busy Bee records ceased, and owners of practically-new Yankee Prince machines found themselves unable to play new records on them because of the lug. Here's a slightly earlier Hawthorne & Sheble-made Yankee Prince turntable with the lug neatly sawn off:
