There is a Yagerphone, which I believe is a British machine, for sale at a low price in my area. Was curious as to the background of these machines and as to opinions about their quality. Haven't found much helpful on the net.

Re: Yagerphone
The Yagerphone was made in London, and was one of many British makes assembled from bought in components and sold at relatively low prices.
Although I have never heard one, I saw one on UK eBay a few years ago. The cabinet style resembled an HMV 163, but I suspect that there the resemblance ended.
Having said that, a Yagerphone would be a great rarity in the USA, but not a valuable one.
