I just acquired an Operaphone project machine, or at least I hope I can make a project of it. As you can see the previous owner thought it would be better as a liquor cabinet and I wish to return it to a functioning gramophone.
The cabinet is in very decent shape but all of it's innards, including the horn, have been removed.
Does anyone have a similar Operaphone which they can share some photos of it, including the motor and horn assembly? If not does anyone know of a collector out there who may own one or have the specs to assist with this project.
Thank you
Bruce

Re: Operaphone Needing Saving
Could be worse: it might have been covered in flat grey paint and scrubbed with steel wool before browning with wax to age it. Those pesky "Shabby Chicers" are everywhere you look.
