I purchased this item right here from the good ole' Yankee Trader back in 2017 from our reproducer guru par excellence, MicaMonster. Here is the original ad:
"Brass Orthophonic soundboxes sound great. REALLY REALLY GREAT. And they don't crumble to bits like pot metal soundboxes. What's not to like?!?!?!
Pot metal soundboxes resonate deeper than solid brass units. This gives a larger and fuller sound. It's a property of the material itself. And when you find a pot metal soundbox that has no cracks...no warping, and no stress marks in the plating........its like finding a grail.
The unit I am offering here is absolutely lovely. Nice original nickel plating. I have dampened the bearings, and installed one of my silicone mounting flanges. The diaphragm is as nice as they come with no dimples from drops or banging around.
$300. And if you are familiar with my work (tooting my own exponential horn!), you will understand. You can spend less elsewhere, but you can't buy better. It has been stored its whole life in ideal conditions, that's why it is so perfect."
Nothing has changed, and the reproducer was used very little. The only thing that has changed is the price: It's now $250. I'm selling off some stuff little by little as I will soon be relocating to a retirement complex and space is at a premium.
Shipping will be $15 to anywhere in the U.S., packed well and insured. Paypal Friends & Family, Venmo or Zelle accepted, or even a good old-fashioned check if you're so inclined.
Thanks for looking!

Very Nice! If I needed one, or had the money, or wasn't a Federal employee in these challenging times I would purchase it
