This might be my favorite phonograph...

Where can I find one...?

My house.

But it’s only to look at, and in your case would require transcontinental travel to a place where the political climate might be a bit too blue for ya.

I keep meaning to do a Featured Phonograph dealio on it, and will try to get that done.

In the meantime it seems that not many of them sold far from home (Rochester NY) originally. So scan Craigslist for a radius around there (don’t forget the nearby bits of Canada) for Kurtzmann and glass phonograph and stuff like that, and one might turn up.

Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder ...

Not beautiful by any means, but definitely interesting!

Undoubtedly way ahead of it's time. I'm a traditionalist so it doesn't appeal to me.

I think it's gorgeous. One of my favorites.

Definitely interesting... I looked at an old thread and saw where you got this. Did you have to go to Alberta to get it? You definitely got a great price...

It’s way more complicated than that, but does involve international negotiations, wine, currency conversion, and a border crossing.

Ontario, NY, Union, Oregon, CA. You know, easy peasy.

They produced a variety of models; some with the glass panels, and some without. The large cabinet model illustrated on this page -- https://www.oldphono.com/blog/49-the-el ... phonograph -- reminds of the fancy Electrola models of the late 1920s.

What kind of talking machines appeal to a "traditionalist?" I do think it's good that each collector has his or her own focus. Just curious...
