Is this what you are looking for?

I no longer own this machine, but found this picture in my files.

Cheers, Bob S.

Also, I have an actual label of a "BC" Graphophone on the inside of the front panel. It is protected by a plastic plate. But...it is not 100% complete. Maybe 80%+-. I would be glad to take a picture of it and post it in order to give you a general idea of how to possibly reconfigure the data I have listed. Maybe you could reconfigure a front info plate. Many kind regards, Lee

Thanks Lee,
That helps a lot. I have been thinking about the instruction to place the stylus on the cylinder and then start the machine. Maybe this would be a good idea instead of getting the mandrel up to speed and then dropping the stylus unto the cylinder, which is what I normally do. Maybe I have been doing it wrong all these years.

If possible, I would like a good reproducible copy of the instruction on the inside of the front cover.

Thanks again
Blain

Hello all, made another attempt. I took the protective plate off of the drop-down door on the BC Graphophone. I tried to take a better photo. I don't have a real camera. Maybe someone can properly crop this photo. The label is in poor shape at best. This is about all I can do. Best, Lee

Thank you Lee,
I tried a little photo editing and it is almost legible. I think we would need a better resolution picture.
The instruction book is amazing. Thanks again.
