We would buy this in a heart-beat! The only issue with this machine is the missing three-head reproducer, which maybe a challenge to find. If we were only on the other coast...

We have a 9 page document compiled on this phonograph company. It was in business from about 1920 to 1922. The company started in Omaha, Nebraska as The Cathedral Phonograph Company. There was a bankruptcy filed and a buy out. The last info we have been able to find about it was in Ohio and re-named Ohio Cathedral Company.

Anyone interested in a copy of our document can send a PM request.

The tone arm and reproducer almost look original if I have not seen the advertisement. They have the same aged nickel appearance. Is it possible they changed the design? Maybe they got flack from Brunswick? - The reproducer shown on this machine is a creative design with the needle bar movement on the interior and it can swivel to play vertically cut records... in fact its in the wrong position for that lateral record in the photo.
