This seems to have attracted a lot of interest, very quickly - and bids.
What is it ? German maybe ?

Re: Interesting gramophone
The metal decoration is typical of Swiss/German machines, but the poor pictures make it difficult to see the make of the motor.
Given that the buyer will have to source a horn, a soundbox and a winding handle, and probably have to overhaul the motor, this is no bargain.

Re: Interesting gramophone
The pity is that the tonearm seems not in correspondence with the machine, and falls short! Maybe the whole support, tonearm etc come from a different machine

The back bracket is either loose on it's mountings or has been bent backwards. When fitted at the correct angle, the tracking alignment will be improved.poodling around wrote:Ah.
