That's actually a Puritone.
Another surfaced awhile back and was discussed on this board -- http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewto ... 04&start=0
All of the Puritan phonographs I've seen had the horn's mouth at the bottom of the cabinet.

Oh, I was wondering about the horn position. I thought maybe not all of them were
at the bottom. There is an oak Puritan for $400 on the San Diego Craigslist and its been there forever. http://sandiego.craigslist.org/esd/atq/1778601904.html And at
that price it will stay there forever.

Re: THE OFF BRAND / OFF-BRANDER THREAD
Just discovered this thread. An amazing variety of phono brands, many I had not seen before, and a few of them quite handsome.
There is a Starr near me that has a nice cabinet, but doen't work, somebody wants $100 for. Trying to decide if I even want to go see it. Of course if I got another upright I might have to keep it in the bathtub.

Starr machines can have very nice cabinets- a benefit of being built in a piano factory. The pot metal tone arms are a problem though and since they didn't get them from a generic supplier repairs can be tricky.
