The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

This one is coming up for sale soon, looks to need a full rehab but can't figure out what it is. seeing if it is possible to find all the parts and worth it...

Looks like a Talk-O-Phone. It looks like it is just missing the horn elbow. Those do turn up. It would be worth pursuing.

Based on the motor and crank shaft, its definitely a Talk-O-Phone phonograph, but I dont know which model.

Thanks guys, seems like this one may be hard to track down parts for...

I have a reprint catalog that names it as "The Herbert".

It looks like all it needs is a leather elbow. I question whether the crank is original. I do have an original slotted Talk-O-Phone crank being used on a Victor E. It's available in trade.

You could probably use a leather elbow, but the correct one is cast aluminum.
