Now this is a neat machine, It has a very nice grill.

I always just get so fascinated by these off brand machines.

Overall shape and hardware looks like an oak Silvertone upright I have...

I'm kind of a sucker for an interesting grille...

I thought the same thing. There has to be a million off brands with that similar cabinet design.

The grille is what caught my eye, it's pretty cool.

I was considering buying a Universal Talking Machine as my first machine a few years ago. It was listed on CL Rockford but was a bit too pricey and I decided instead to go with a bigger brand for my first. I really liked the grille and cabinet design plus I'm originally from Rockford so thought it would be neat to own a talking machine branded and sold by a Rockford company. I never went to see it in person but from the fuzzy photos it looked pretty nice:

If the eBay machine were not too much further than a quick errand away from me I might be tempted to grab it and try to squeeze it into my teeny house just because of the Rockford connection. Thanks for posting!
