Prices on these vary from $150 - $650 (for a pristine original that has been cleaned and restored). Condition is everything. https://www.phonophan.com/columbiaq.html

These are not rare or uncommon.

I sold a nice original Q in a case with a reproduction 10" cone horn for $300 at the APS Midwest Expo.

- Curt, thanks for mentioning that particular fact. The museum in question though is a privat and rather smaller museum of which my family has work related connections to. In my conversation with one of its representatives, I was told that they don’t have that type of machine on display yet. They will also supply me with recordings of of the cylinders’ records, which will be interesting to listen to for some contain family music and readings.

- Thanks for the tip, Jerry Van 👍🏻

- And Lucius, thanks for your input. Here are a few more photos of the reproducer from different angles
