My New Addition...

Post by Curt A »

I always wanted one of these, but never had the chance to get one until now... A Columbia AS coin-op Graphophone.

If anyone has a need for a half mortise lock exactly like the one on the AS front door, I was able to find some NOS locks with keys for $30 plus shipping...

Great addition! I'm a big fan of the Columbia coin-ops too.

After seeing Mike Lund's AS, I knew for sure that I wanted that model.

By the way, the Biophone is incredible in person...
