That is a United States phonograph: http://www.intertique.com/U-S%20Everlasting%20story.htm
It is a combination 2-4 minute machine and was very well designed - but that reproducer is a mass of pot metal.

Re: HELP IDENTIFY
A US "Lakeside" Phonograph! I recently heard one play that Tim Fabrizio owns. Very cool, it has both 2 and 4 minute reproducers that can be selected for play.

I doubt that replacements are easily available, they are usually the only part of the machine that goes bad.Amberola wrote:Let me guess, you cant get that reproducer?

Re: HELP IDENTIFY
There's another thread somewhere here where pics of all the US models were posted. Can anyone find it?phonogfp wrote:These U-S reproducers were recently discussed here:
