This last Nauction (78rpm.com) I won this example of a Mandel record to go with my Mandel phonograph. I have never seen one before and just had to have it. I have shared this image with Ted Staunton (tedstaunton.com) and hope he will include it sometime.

Here is all of the information I've gathered for the web about this off brand machine

An interesting machine. I gather from the pics on the link it is set up to play either laterals or verticals. Congrats on finding the matching record.

Yes it does.


Surprisingly, my wife likes it, even though I rarely use it to play records. Years back I suggested selling it and she insists that if that happens it must be replaced by something nicer and cheap. She's very smart, I'm still looking. ;)
