Nice Duophone

Post by briankeith »

Sharp looking Duophone table-top - but alas, shipping from Germany will force me to sell my first born child. This is one off-brand I really want to add to my collection of off-brand machines. I wish I could afford to spend a couple of months in Europe just buying and shipping these babys home to my New Jersey homestead. I would even bring the wife to pick all the flea markets over there with me. I don't think she would complain one bit!!

I sounds quite good.

I wonder what the stylus pressure must be with all that mass, though.
