Anyone recognize this machine from the cabinet?

Nice looking oak case. Coming up for auction in a few weeks. Anone know what brand and model?

Columbia Grafanola

Probably a G-2, one of their less expensive floor models & rather plain- but that quartersawn oak veneer kicks it up quite a few notches.

I agree on Columbia Grafonola.

From the lack of carved figuring and the general lid contour, I would guess "Leader" or "Mignonette"... one of their $75 machines.

The record storage is probably one of three choices:

> horizontal shelves for albums

> vertical slats with "typewriter key" ejector buttons

> four tip-out bins

That oak looks very nice.


I have one in dark red mahogany, with a single-tip-out bin.

Check the tone-arm and base for cracks / breaks / freeze-up; these can be repaired, but should drop the price a bit.

"Leader", 75, 85, E-2, F-2, or X-2, are all likely models...
