Hello
My name is Peter and I just registered here.
My mother tongue is German and I can only speak English by learning by use. Google also helps. Sorry if it is wrong.
I took a few phonographs home when I was traveling 40 years ago. Meanwhile, I want to complete or sell them. I hope that this forum will answer a few questions.
The first device here is unknown to me. 'The Phonograph' is on the decal. Feed Screw, Reproducer and Horn are missing.
- Can any of you explain to me what kind of model it is?
- Is this the correct lid? It is not oak like the lower case.
- Does anyone have a picture of feed screw, pickup and horn?
Thank you for your support.
Greetings Peter

Re: Unknown Phonograph 'The Phonograph'
Hello Peter, and welcome to the forum!
You machine appears to be an Excelsior, manufactured for the English-speaking market. I don't believe the lid is original to that machine.
You might receive a far more authoritative response by posting this in the "British and European Machines" section of this forum.
Good luck!

George is right... the red striping on the bedplate is typical of a German Excelsior machine...
