The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

this guy coalfiresmokeandsteam consistently lists and sells / doesn't sell items on Ebay . probably the £ 1,400 was his own bid later rejected as a non payer

Thank you for sharing the previous thread - I do remember that machine! I wonder if the current seller lost the bronze connector - it was clearly present in the older photos, but now has some odd aluminum pipe instead. So sad to see what could be a nice machine so poorly treated.

relisted and sold at £2,250 and then surprise relisted again and sold at £2,250 so he still has it I guess

Now relisted for the seventh time!

I'd really like it as a project but really couldn't spend that much on it given that the horn may be irreparable, I can't even think how he's managed to get it into that shape!

it's now £1900 BIN despite having sold for £2250 three times why doesn't Ebay pick up on this and ban the seller ?

Sold for £1,300 this time if one can believe it ?!

Hopefully Kirtley got it

Do you really think I'd be foolish enough to buy that ruined wreck of a once fine gramophone...

It's been making me sad for a couple of months or so, and now there's a happy ending!
