I am selling a few of my phonographs to fund another phono purchase I am going to try to make. One of the phonographs I would be willing to sell is my Home model B. This was a phonograph discussed on this board. Here are pictures from the thread.

Here is the original thread discussing this phonograph.

It has been confirmed with the research from Martin that this probably a factory mistake. It is a Home phonograph with a Standard data plate. Check out the pictures on the original thread. I do not have the crane for this machine at this point. I would be willing to sell it with or without the horn. The only thing I did to this phonograph was cleaned the dust off with a rag and cleaned the grease off of the motor. It plays wonderfully and is a 2/4 minute machine and a true oddity.
I am not sure what to ask for price wise as nobody seems to have seen an error like this. It definitely adds to the uniqueness of the machine, but don't know whether it adds to the value or not. I will leave that up to those interested. Please send me a PM if you are interested in more pictures or if you would like to make an offer. I can ship this or am willing to deliver it to the Union show.
