With the attachments and reproducer, this seems fair enough. Shame about that GM cylinder though.

Yeah that's "My Wife's Gone To the Country" by Ragtime Bob Roberts.

The old phonograph is pretty sweet too; that's in gorgeous condition. $500 is fair. I couldn't buy and rebuild a rough one for $500, and that's $500 for a fine-looking original, too, not a restoration job.

Do love a good restoration but originality is nice if you can get it.

Originality really is nice. I LOVE that green oak, but I also love how the restorations of the green oak looks. Just stunning what some folks can do.

It looks to have the language repeater bar on it also. It lifts the carriage and moves it back slightly to repeat words on a language cylinder.

Indeed, and you can see where the the little celluloid ICS plaque used to be on the front!
