Reginaphone

[Jman]

Hello I am new to the forum. I need help on identifying which model my Reginaphone is and help pricing it. Its been in my family since it was bought new and i have been helping to liquidate my grandparents estate, it is the last item. Here are a few pics, if you need more please tell me of what. I need all the help i can get. Also if you are interested in buying it let me know and i will post it on the buying and selling area. Thanks alot!

Something like this, especially if it's a family piece, is something you should keep.

agreed, if possible.

Thats the problem, no one in the family wants it and we need the money to help pay for my grandfathers retirement home costs. My dad just sold the house, but with the way gramps is going we need a couple more years worth of funds, not that i expect to get it all from this

Is that all you have of it? Do you not have the tonearm and reproducer, and the turntable?

Yours is a double comb music box. Here is a link to what appears to be a similar model for reference.

I'm sorry about your situation. I know caring for elderly relatives is a challenging task, and your grandfather's needs do trump the need to keep this piece, but I still think you should find some way of keeping it if possible. This item is virtually irreplaceable.

If the turntable and tonearm are not with the machine I'd recommend you do your best to search the estate to see if they turn up. The machine's value is diminished without these parts. The first link above has a picture showing these pieces. Hope this helps.

On short bedplate Regina boxes the first 3 digits on the serial number plate is the model number.

It's hard to tell if it's a 15" or 20 ¾" box, looks like what is known as a "cupola top" box.
