The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Who's got the Columbia coin ops for sale. I'm looking to purchase one, but I'm not able to get to Orlando.

I have the Columbia AS (pictured) and also a BS that can be seen just to the left of the Victor D.
Jerry, thanks for posting and it has been good talking with you.

Looks like you are having lots of fun. I'm envious beyond words! But, if you can bring that Nipper back to life I might just have to let you have a chance at the one in my entry way you have wanted to work on for years.

Here are a few more photos of the Orlando show. In my opinion the show was a huge success. I came thinking it would be a social event but I'm leaving with some terrific items. I bought a Victor III, original Victor sign, a nearly perfect Gem black M/G horn, a Victor I black & brass horn, a seamless all brass horn, and a maroon Gem. The seamless horn and Gem were purchased as I walked around the room saying goodbyes to everyone.

I would like to encourage collectors to attend the phono shows if possible. Overall I thought prices were very reasonable and there was a very good selection.

Stan and I flew into Orlando and I'd like to thank Bob & Richard as well as Kevin & Dustin for offering to get our purchases to Union. Without a network of friendly collectors, it would be difficult to buy much of anything. Thanks, Jerry Blais

I really like the Standard under glass and the price of $1600 I think is very reasonable. Wish I could have made it to the show as this would be sitting next to my Home under glass. Hope to be at next years show.

Jerry,

Is the show over? I'm interested in the 1A if the price is right. Marc Capralis

There's only one dealer left and he's packing up his stuff. Jerry

Great Show in Orlando.........Thanks to Bob Cole and Richard Brown for great hospitality. And I'm sure they thank Jerry Blais for keeping the Florida economy going!! I contributed some also: Puck phonograph with 2 mandrels (regular and intermediate cylinders); Playola Tin Kid's phonograph; unusual needle cutter; etc.

Didn't get the name of the dealer, but the asking price by Saturday morning was $4,000 and it appeared to be in excellent condition. Grille might have been a replacement, I though, but did not examine it carefully. As I was going to lunch yesterday, the dealer was packing it up in his SUV. It was a nicer example than mine, which I paid more for a couple of years ago.
