This machine needs a good cleaning but is all original right down to the original belt. It runs fine.
I can bring it to Union in June or ship it. It may also be picked up near Fargo, ND if you happen to be driving through.

Bruce,
I have never heard a machine like that , how does the sound compared to a disc machine with that same size horn? Very nice looking must be fairly rare at least iv'e never seen one!
Thanks Eric

Very nice machine, rare in that it has the 2/4 minute gearing, with a wooden horn and it is complete machine.
If anyone is debating if they should buy this machine I would except I have one with a nickel horn and it displays very nicely in my family room.

Eric, with some new gaskets and possibly new stylus in the reproducer and playing same vintage records, (1910 disc and 1910 cylinder for example) I'm pretty sure the cylinder would sound better, clearer, better fidelity than the disc. The disc may be a bit louder though.

Not to mention that industrial strength, quadruple spring motor. Wish I could keep them all but just can't.Edisone wrote:I hope it has a fine new home. I rate it as the most attractive (curvy oak cabinet, nickel parts, etc), useful (2&4 minute) and convenient (tone-arm with no crane and no horn hanging 2-3 feet into the room) cylinder machine made in the USA, particularly with this rare and elegant horn. Congrats to the new owner!
