FOR SALE: Nice front mount Talk-O-Phone - $675

Post by Phono-Phan »

I have for sale a very nice Talk-O-Phone. The case is in great shape with the original finish. The turntable will need new felt. It plays through a record fine but I think the springs could be a bit stronger. The price is $675 with free delivery to the Union show. Otherwise, I can ship it if needed for whatever the exact shipping cost is.

I'd love that , but I suspect shipping to England would be rather expensive....

I have this machine in both front and rear mount. Did these machines ever have a Talk-O-Phone decal on it? What model is this one?

Mine has a Globe Talking Machine Co. decal. If it turns out that none are known with Talk-O-Phone decals, I'd suspect this style was offered exclusively for client use.

If this machine had no decal but one was added would it be the parrot or no parrot decal I see offered for sale? Or would either of them be completely wrong?

That's the question. Is there an existing machine with this cabinet bearing an original Talk-O-Phone decal? :?

I have never seen this model with the Talk-O-Phone decal. The earlier ones had the large fancy decal on the front of the case. I didn't think the later ones had decals. This case looks all original and no signs of a decal.

I have been asked to post more pictures of this Talk-O-Phone. The finish looks original to me but I am no expert. There is some slight alligatoring in the finish.
