For Sale: Circassian Walnut Columbia Grafonola Grand:INQUIRE

Post by Phono-Phan »

I am considering selling my Circassian Walnut Columbia Grafonola Grand. I have had the electric motor rebuilt, made a new fiber governor drive gear, and re-wired some of the bad wiring. The auto start/stop function is very finicky so I usually play it without this switch turned on. There is one switch that needs replacing that turns on the turntable light when the lid is opened. Other than that this phonograph is in near mint condition. The finish and wood grain are ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!! It looks much better in person. I have decided to make it available because it doesn't fit in the direction of my phonograph collecting. There have been a couple of threads on this forum about it. Please check them out for more information on it. It is definitely a rare phonograph and would be a showpiece in your collection. I also have the original packing slip for it. I haven't been able to find any other examples of these that have sold so I am at a loss to figure out an asking price. I will consider offers. Please contact me with any questions you may have. I would prefer that offers and questions are sent to me using the PM feature. I can offer delivery within a couple of hundred miles from Central Wisconsin, delivery to the next Donley's auction on September 10th, or suggest the shipper that brought it to me. They are very reasonable.
