Columbia Favorite

Post by dzavracky »

Hey guys,

Can you help me put a value on this phonograph? I think I have decided to let it go and I am not sure how much I can get for it. The reproducer needs work, but it's still a great machine!

thanks,
David

I don't know about value, but I do know that your machine is early and unusual because it has doors over the horn instead of louvers. Horn doors were patented by Victor and Columbia was forced to switch to louvers pretty early in the production run of this machine.

Very pretty machine too. I hope you do well with it.

Where is a good place to sell a machine? Ebay?

Sell it on ebay and let the market decide.
