Re: Help identifying parts
I'm beginning to think that it was put together in a very dark room. Many thanks to all who have contributed to unraveling the mystery.

Re: Help identifying parts
Thank you for posting the picture. Unfortunately, this is a Frankenphone. The case is a Columbia Grafonola Eclipse or Model 25. It has the Columbia levers and speed control. Panels were added to the front and back of the case to hide were the louvers go, and the space in the back. On the front of the case, you can see the the screws on the columns where the louvers go. I concur with Gramophone 78 that the horn is a cut off H & S cylinder horn. As a consolation, you have some valuable parts such as the back bracket. The Columbia case parts can be used to fix up another Columbia.
