1920s Dual Tone The King of Phonograph

Just picked up this unique phonograph from the early 20s. Loving it! $100. Just cleaned it up and rebuilt the reproducer which is shaped like a Fletcher. Love the Mandel stop on this unit! On the right side has a volume rod. The double tonearm doesnt seem to have any sound difference. Would think it may add a bit of depth to the sound. A little more touching up to do as well as motor inspection and she will be added to my collection! Anyone else have one?

Great find.... great price... enjoy!

As for me, I don't have one of these particular off-brands but others may chime in that have one or can offer some period advertisements through online sources, etc.

What a neat machine. I don’t have one but I definitely would’ve picked that up for $100!

Enjoy!

Looks great, enjoy it. I had a deposit on it for a few months, but haven’t really gone out since March and I knew I wouldn’t be able to get down to pick it up for quite a while. My wife will be happy that I wasn’t bringing another machine into the house.

Did they have it on Craigslist or other site? I jumped on it 3 hours after Facebook post. On a side note, the Christmas gift from the wife idea was the only way I was getting another haha!

These "gimmick" machines are always fascinating!

Add a second soundbox and you have a Duophone.

It was on FB earlier in the year and I put a deposit on it then. She contacted me about it a couple of days ago and relisted it when I said I was still not leaving the house.
