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.

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.

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. :monkey:

A nice machine anyway.
