Wanted: projects record or cylinder (still looking)

[OldRestorer]

I am looking to find a project that is not a $1000.00 investment.

I don't need anything flashy and rare. I just want a nice complete unit that has a crap cabinet.

I really want one with a large metal morning glory horn. I would like more than just a plain cabinet though. Maybe something with pillars?

Here are pics of the basic look... It does not need to be a certain brand.

Thanks and post pics of what you have with prices...

EDIT**** I will also be interested in other table top machines that need restoration like cylinder machines...

I have an Amberola 30 with a crap cabinet that I'd be happy to give you. It's substantially complete...I even rebuilt the reproducer and motor some years back. It just needs cabinet work.

Best,

Garret

Kirk, What's your budget for project machines like you've shown? Also, where are you located? It's very expensive to ship something like a Victor III. Do you get to any of the large shows? Jerry B.

Hey,
I dont travel much so no big shows... Wayne was my first and probably last for a while...
I would say a project budget is $1000.00. My thought is that I want a machine that is between $1000.00 and $2000.00 restored.
It is not to resell, I just dont want to pay $1000.00 for a project that is only worth $1100.00...

Kirk,

Maybe you don't travel much, but some of us do. Where are you located?

Ahhhh... A Long Islander...!!!

I was born and lived there for 34 Years in the Babylon/West Islip area before moving down here to Melbourne, Florida for a job in 2004.. ...Been here ever since... Where on Long Island are you located?? Nassau or Suffolk?? What town?? I still have lots of connections there!! Last time that I was there in 2009, I picked up an Edison Standard "D" 2/4 Minute machine. I carried it on the plane home!
