Tinplate Horn Gramophone on UK eBay

Post by epigramophone »

What a neat little machine this is. I have never seen one quite like it before. Presumably the tonearm and horn are connected by an interior conduit, rather like an EMG.

Interesting small machine... but starting bid is 300 quid. It looks like the sound exits the bottom maybe after taking a circuitous journey?
