SOLD: BK Graphophone (Altered for performance) $350 OBO
Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2019 7:42 am
Hello ladies and germs--
I hate to do it, but my room is starting to look like a barn sale. I'm selling my BK Graphophone, 2 minute only with a double-spring motor, probably a 1906 or 1907 model based on my research and guesswork.
This is your chance to hear this wonderfully upgraded, compact, and powerful graphophone--if it doesn't sell here, I will be putting it on eBay at a slightly higher price!
THE UPGRADES:
Cline decals
Amberola 30 diaphragm center on Lyric micas, shortened stylus linkage, LOUD and CLEAR reproduction.
14" brass horn
Topcoated with shellac on cabinet finish to preserve dealer decals & seal Cline decals
Motor gear train cleaned, oiled, & adjusted
New Wyatt Markus belt.
New rubber feet.
The PROBLEMS:
No crank escutcheon
Two dents in lid
I haven't cleaned the lid much
Hate to sell it.
Anyway, there you go. I have pictures but I also have a JOB, and uploading more than a few will be tough before I can get to work. I have it at $400 but if you want to go cheapskate on me I might just accomodate you.
Cheers!
Charles F.
