After dragging home the massive Columbia Regent this past weekend, I've decided something big needs to go. For sale is a Mills Do-Re-Mi Automatic Phonograph, circa 1935. The previous owner told me that he had tested all of the tubes and motors and they were all good, but I cannot confirm. The turntable motor does run if you trigger it manually, but the ferris wheel motor is not connected to power. I just haven't had time to really dig into this thing and get everything working. I'm sure for someone with more electrical prowess than I have, it will be up and running in no time. As you can see from the photos, it's clean, all there, and in overall good condition. I've highlighted 3 areas on the cabinet that I thought were the "worst" flaws, but aren't that noticeable under normal circumstances and can be easily repaired. I even bought the manual and schematics for it, which I will of course include. The first $350 buys it, and the new owner will need to pick it up from my home in Ferndale, MI or arrange to have it picked up by a shipper. Make no mistake, this thing is HEAVY!
