Puritan Model 150 SN 128 for $10 on Ebay

[De Soto Frank]

Looks like the Chevy behind it was also nearly hub-deep in water...

Hi Tom,

Congratulations on the new acquisition! I hope these two pages from a Puritan catalog help you out. I currently have two higher-end, bowed Puritans in my collection --- they are two of my favorite machines.

FYI: There are several types of correct Puritan tonearms (various shapes/lengths) and reproducers (various shapes) that do not look at all alike. Several examples are attached here. Many collectors think of the bevel-faced reproducer as being the only correct one for Puritans, but UPC (United Phonographs Corporation)did use other types at one time or another. Also, various Puritan machines had either a model number and/or a name designation. To further confuse things, some name designations changed over time, although the machine stayed the same.

So how rare is this model/ what's its value? Also what tonearm would belong to this model, it has a nickel plated semi-auto stop.
