Unidentified Phonograph Help Needed

Post by audiophile102 »

This machine is going to be featured in an auction and I was wondering what brand it is? Don't know anything more than the picture shows.

This is not an Edison C-19. I think it is an off-brand.

That is a Starr phonograph- makers of Gennett records- they were well built but check the arm for cracks and breaks. Another example of a machine built by a piano company.
