zon-o-phone

Post by phonocookie »

Will I picked this Z0N-O-PHONE up and need help with what model it is. I know it must be towards the end. It has the black tone arm. Thanks

If it's got a back bracket with a tonearm connection and horn elbow cast into it, then it is a late model.

If you can, please post more photos showing all 4 sides, the bottom, and the top with and without the horn and turntable.

Looking through a late catalog, it could be a "Home".

The dimensions of the case given are 12-½" x 12-½" x 7" high. The turntable would be 9 inches. The horn shown is black japanned 14-½ long with 9-½ inch bell. It appears the tonearm was black.

The catalog specifies a "Universal" soundbox.

Hope this helps.
