Brunswick Ultona Grille

OH. well then. Perhaps I will eventually get that one, as well.

Getting back to that Brunswick Ultona, I used to have one. As I recall, those Brunswick consoles have a solid wooden panel in front of the horn grille. You lean the panel forward and it swings down and pushes in under the horn like a Columbia Grafonola.

I'm sorry to say this model was not one of them......

That sounds like a Sonora or even Viva-Tonal Columbia; acoustical Brunswicks all used exposed grilles, as far as I've even seen.

re: This entire thread; the only think worse than not getting advice is actually getting it.

No, it was a Brunswick BR 60 with a handcrank Ultona phonograph and a battery powered radiola from 1925. There is a picture of one in the Wakeman book on the APS site on page 91 and here are some pics of Brunswick with the door over the grille:
