Newbie: is this real?

Post by HB_227 »

Hello, I fell in love with this machine today. It still works beautifully. Before I purchase it, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if this real, and if so what you think it would be valued at. Thank you!

There are several videos of other Parlophones on Youtube. I've never heard of it but that doesn't mean much. My guess is it's real. Most of the Crapophones jump out at you as being fake. The only part on this one that might not be authentic is the horn but I can't be sure. Check it for solder joints.

Looks real to me. Very British.

No real idea of value. If they wanted 600-700 dollars for it, I'd grab it.

Yes, it's a German made Parlophone and completely genuine. The horn is probably German and fits, so again, it is probably correct for this machine.
