Zon-O-Phone

That would be great, thanks.

My pleasure. I know I have it here somewhere. Seemed like a decent guy. I will PM it to you. BTW, there is nothing wrong with the machine you asked about. However, as mentioned, the seller seems to do very well and caters to an off shore market. If you like it and have the $$.....go for it!!!. You won't be buying junk.

Sure looks nice from here - but hey! Any machine with an outside horn I grab my wallet because it is not going to be cheap..

I have this same Zonophone model with a blue horn in my collection and I was happy to pay $1600 for it about 10 years ago. For Zonophone rear mounts it is not one of the easier ones to find - at least from my perspective. Here is a video of mine playing a comic recording on an early Gramophone & Typewriter 10 inch disc by Russell Hunting as Michael Casey:

Good luck and let us know how this turns out. It's a nice machine and almost as large as a Victor V.

Thanks for the video and nice machine Doug, also thanks for a perspective on the price, we will see how it goes.

I didn't win it, someone decided to over pay at the last second, I'm just fine with that, I'll keep looking for the right deal.
