Does this ring a bell? NEW: Decal Pic

Post by Curt A »

A front mount phonograph, with a decal on the case that reads "HARMONY DELUXE"? It has a single spring motor (original) with a spring approx. 1 ½" wide, similar to a music box motor. No pictures yet, but it needs the 3 hole mount front support arm, traveling arm, horn and reproducer. No maker I.D. Any ideas?

I finally got a picture of the decal and enhanced it, since it was faded...

Could be a Columbia client machine? If so, some parts could be sourced from Columbia...

Does this decal give any clues?

THANKS, GEORG... I was thinking of something like a front mount Busy Bee or Aretino...
