I just bought a Beltona tabletop, and the seller couldn't ID the model number. I haven't been able to find another like it. Anyone have any info?
Feel free to comment on this.
Thanks in advance.

I have no idea about the answer to your question, but I'd like to say that's a very pretty machine! I'll bet it's curiously euphonic, too.

The louvred doors on your machine may be a modification by a previous owner.
Here is the only period advertisement I have showing a table model.

Maybe you know this already, but that Edison record on the turntable will not play on that machine. You need a regular, lateral cut, 78 record.

The pics I posted are from previous owner. I know the drill about Edison discs. Many thanks.

The model shown also is shaped diffrently. So I don't think it's the same model. This is baffling me. Many thanks for your input.epigramophone wrote: Fri Jun 23, 2023 3:46 am The louvred doors on your machine may be a modification by a previous owner.
