My rebuilt Columbia Graphophone Q

[Edisonfan]

Here is my Columbia Type Q Graphophone. That I just got back today, from George Vollema Who did an amazing job rebuilding it.


The horn and winding key are reproductions, as well as the brass governor.

It looks nice!

That's the earlier style Q, and when sold with a cabinet like yours, was called the "QC" (Think "C" as in "Cabinet"). The QC originally sold for $7.50 with a 10" conical horn like yours.

An illustrated article on the various Q Graphophones appeared in the September 2014 issue of The Antique Phonograph.

Congratulations - -

Very nice machine! Good example of an early Q. I also like the early style reproducer on there.

Just wondering, some of us collectors have experienced skipping of the record of the Columbia Q. Does your machine skip?

Very nice little machine. It's no wonder the Q and Eagles sold in large numbers. They gave such great pleasure in a very small package. Jerry Blais

Very nice! It's so refreshing to see such care taken to "get it right". Especially with the smaller, "simpler" machines. I love Q's...there...I've said it!
