Re: Reginaphone
It looks like it may be a 20.75" inch judging from the size of the spindle hole in the discs.

Re: Reginaphone
It's a Regina ,20-¾", style 239. An internal horn Reginaphone. The I.D. tag should begin with "239", followed by some zeros then ending with some other numerals. Those other numerals are the serial number, mine is s/n 13.
They are beautiful sounding machines. If you don't already have the tone arm I'm pretty sure you will never find one. The turntables do show up from time to time on eBay among other places. However, the tone arm and turntable are fro playing records only, for music box operation you've got all that you need, (except maybe a disc).
As to value. If it plays well, maybe $5000 - $7000. Those are very "ballpark" figures.
