Has Anyone Seen This Before?

Post by SonnyPhono »

I am currently the high bidder on this and hopefully will win it for $80. I am probably paying too much at this point but I thought it was interesting and has the original box and instructions which I would think would be hard to find. Has anyone seen this particular device or one like it?

SonnyPhono,

I have seen various repeaters before, but I don't recall that particular one. It looks very interesting. If you win it please give us a report on its workings.

Regards,
John

I will do. The auction is running live right now. I have the highest absentee bid, so if nobody else there wants it for more than $80, I will win it and will give a rundown when I receive it. In the meantime, if anyone knows more about it, I would love to hear. (Year, how many produced, etc.)

Well, I won the Repeater as well as a Graphophone Type Q in great original shape all for $200. Not too bad I guess as I have never owned a type Q. It plays just fine so I guess that price isn't too bad. Plus, they are including 27 cylinders with it as well, so I did ok. I will post an update when I get them and have time to try it out. :)

Yes, would like to hear more about the repeater also - that'd be worthy of a youtube video if possible.

Absolutely! It should be here tomorrow or Wednesday. I have quite a few youtube videos and will add the repeater when I receive it. I didn't realize but when talking with the auctioneer to arrange shipping, she said that she would make sure the cylinders are packed safely. I didn't even know that they came with the items I won. They all have the original boxes w/lids and are in great shape. 27 cylinder, the repeater and a complete original Graphophone Q for $220. Not too bad I suppose. :)
