Such a deal! If I lived 1,700 miles closer, that machine would already be mine!

A "garmophone/phonograph" is a pretty rare item indeed!

Sad the cone is torn. But that is still a good deal.

Re: Actuelle actually near NYC $75!
Good for you! You know the cone is fairly simple to "reproduce". I used to make them for a couple of local radio and phonograph dealers in NYC. The only tricky part with the Actuelle consisted of brushing the edge of the newly mounted cone with just enough water to soften the the cone sufficiently to press it backwards so you can achieve the reverse ogival curvature they are famous for.52089 wrote:Being delivered to me Friday!![]()

Got it today. It's running but it has definite cosmetic issues. Lots of alligatoring in the finish. it may be a complete refinish candidate. Will need a couple of minor things like 1 door knob, a couple of casters, etc. I won't get to it for a while, but it will be fun to do eventually.
