Vitaphone, anyone? Mississauga, Ontario

Interesting little machine for a good price.

Wow.... that is ... unique...


I did not know that Vitaphone made internal-horn machines...


Looks like a good price, but too far from me...

VERY interesting but "needs some work" worries me. These machines are a pain to work with. Though, this is the first I've seen with an internal horn.

I saw that one as well but something isn't right about that cabinet, it looks refinished.
The horn is actually in the top (lid).

Here's a couple of shots of the same model...

[Torjazzer]

You're correct. Someone has messed with it already. Note the brand new felt.

[Torjazzer]

I went to see it. It is in really good condition (though it will take some tinkering to get some sound out of it ) The cabinet has not been refinished. The seller told me he was about to gut it. " It will make a really nice record box" he said. I quickly stuck $120 in his hand and took it home! I couldn't just leave it there.

Good job saving it! Please keep us updated on your progress. Maybe a featured phonograph at some point?

Thanks

SMH. How many of these machines exist?? Get a milk crate, or order a box from Bags Unlimited, for heaven's sake!

Torjazzer, thank you for saving this machine!

Best wishes, Mark

Grumpy, I like the green one, but I'd rather have it in purple.
