Later-style Grafonola Upright in Thousand Oaks...

Post by De Soto Frank »

Looks like a high-end machine, with Adam-style inlay, Gold-plated hardware, and probably a four-spring motor....

(As usual, it's on the "wrong side of the country" for me... :roll:

I had one just like it that I just sold, mine was not mahogony
tho it was walnut. It did have the 4 spring motor, which I had
Ron Sitko redo for me. The only thing mine was missing was the
filigre just above the speaker louvers, some body had chipped
it off. They are a nice machine and sound good.

I have one w/o the inlay on the storage doors... it is a HEAVY s-o-b. :shock:


Someone really mustard-up the finish, and fabbed-up a crank out of a REALLY long carriage-bolt. :(

Not sure what I'll do with it yet... might be a Guinea-pig for cabinet refinishing techniques...


Does anyone have this style cabinet with the "secret storage doors" in the back ?
