"Only needs new ribbon..."

Post by Curt A »

Columbia Graphophone 1885 Brass Horn NY Paris Antique Music Jazz Bar Display VTG

“Vintage item in great condition, only needs new ribbon.”
Item description:
"Columbia 1985 Graphophone with all brass horn, wood cover / lid in great vintage condition, just needs new ribbon. Edison discs are available too. New York & Paris."

Apparently, "great 'vintage' condition" has a new meaning... :roll:

Maybe, but I'm still trying to extract ANY meeting from "Brass Horn NY Paris Antique Music Jazz Bar Display VTG" :-)

In the context of a "Jazz Bar," does VTG = Vodka Tequila Gin?

VTG is an abbreviation for "vintage". I noticed that eBay is programmed to know that vtg=vintage.

It is missing the carriage assembly. It holds the horn and floating reproducer on this machine. It is a Columbia AT.
