Re: Nice CL posting
The cylinder machine is either a BET or BFT Graphophone. The BFT would have a 6" long mandrel to play 3-minute duration 'Twentieth Century' cylinders. Looks like it may be s 2/4-minute machine as well, if the Blue Amberol cylinders in the cabinet are any indication.

Re: Nice CL posting
I think it's too big for a BET, probably is a BFT. If the price is not too high you should grab it.
Good luck if you should decide to do so!

BET and BFT shared the same case . . . only difference is in the mandrel length.

Re: Nice CL posting
Hmmm... I thought the case was a bit bigger on the BF/BFT.
I'm pretty sure the BF/BFT had a bigger motor too, one more spring but I guess that does not mean the case is necessarily bigger.
A nice machine anyway.
