Post by xtand »

Anyone knows something about the machine i have? My father found it in a basement full of mud in the late 60's.
Thank you very much!

I can't give you any specific information on your machine or it's manufactor but in general, it looks to be an orthophonic type machine probably made in the late 1920's early 1930's. If you will check out the Victor victrola's of this time line you will see the resemblance. There were many smaller companies that got into the phonograph business during this period. You may be able to find a reproducer that will fit it. Maybe someone else can add some more information. Good luck with your phonograph and welcome to the board. Jan

You should send your pictures to the Canadian Antique Phonograph Society: http://www.capsnews.org/

I would like very much find a reproducer that fit on it. It's a UPCO Corp. Brand. Don't know if it's easy to get one. My mother accidentally dropped it on the floor when trying to clean it 25 years ago.
I'm not a specialist in it but like very much all the old things.
Thank you for the infos.
