Absolutely stunning machine. I would love to own one.
I have a Trade Mark Berliner in its original leather carry case and feel so privileged to own it.

Wayne, any chance of placing images of Berliner reproducers from the same period? Sorry to ask but would be nice to see.

Here is a close up of the reproducer that I have on my Berliner "Improved" Gram-o-phone with gold plated hardware. Not sure if it's the same period or not..

What a superb player Blizz. I had only heard of them and have never seen one pictured before. Thank you for sharing.
Would have loved to have seen a close up of the maker's plate. Is it celluloid?

Berliner marketed in Britain with the Gramophone Company Decal. Share the identical "J" Soundbox.

Yes the plate is celluloid. This machine was actually the centerfold in Tim & Georges reference book "Discovery Antique Phonographs".

Here is a pic of the plate.. and the guts.. LOL

Thanks for sharing Blizz. You have a very special player there. The only problem I see with it is it is not mine ;)
