Great finds Ken!
I'm sure that any member of the Forum would love to have them sitting on their shelves.

I believe the Clark Johnson would be correct on the hand-wind.
The original you want to look for is the one with the printing on the back as shown in this pic.

Cheers, Bob S.

Bob, Thanks for the picture. The seller of these phonographs said he might have the correct reproducer. It was also standard equipment on the #3 model. The long throat concert was an option later in the model #3 production.

As I said earlier in the thread, either Clarke Johnson or Concert would be suitable on both machines. Truth be told neither machine existed for very long but they started with the CJ and later were fitted with Concerts.

Has the seller got a spare G & T Concert by any chance? I have a Victor Concert spare which is from a machine that should have the G & T labelled version.

Steve, Thanks for the input. I can check with the person I bought these from about another G&T concert.
