Primaphone phonograph
I saw this machine on eBay and I wanted to know more about it and if it was worth buying it appears to me that this Is a very nice machine and I would like to own it very much I hope this is a orignal model. If this is a original model please let me know I'm afraid it could be a. Machine put together out of other parts. Thanks Morgan Thompson

Re: Primaphone phonograph
Avoid this like the plague, in my opinion. This guy is a) selling from India, the homeland of the "Crapophone", and b) already has bad feedback from selling HMVs of questionable pedigree.morgantheavenger wrote:I saw this machine on eBay and I wanted to know more about it and if it was worth buying it appears to me that this Is a very nice machine and I would like to own it very much I hope this is a orignal model.

It'd be great if these machines at least worked, but they're cobbled together out of incredible junk. A four year old could often build a better quality machine.

Re: Primaphone phonograph
Avoid on general principles. Anything from India is most likely to be a cobbled up mess. They have been building fakes as a cottage industry from old portable parts for at least the past 50 years. If you search eBay for "Primaphone" you will find other fakes using the same decal.
