The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

My experience with these machines as well as watches I deal with, when people want you to name a price, they usually already know what they want for the item and fishing for more money. Like Raphael, if they can’t give me a price, discussion is over...

Sorry to all for the delayed reply, to answer the questions of the forum members, here goes.

This is not a ghost ad. We are attempting to work in good faith in regards to the rules of this forum. We used the Inquire in our title to accept offers as specified in the Forum Rules section.

We've been asked by multiple people to provide more pictures, videos and record inventory (see attached files) This takes time, as well as researching the phonograph, cabinet and records online.

We live in the Kansas City, Missouri area.

Price: $5500

FYI...the boot isn't for sale. LOL

Price is way too high for any informed, serious buyer. That machine needs some serious tlc. I've sold much nicer condition Operas for less. The records and cabinet may add some value, but if they are in bad condition, they are worthless.

Hello Fullvan

I have sent you a personal message (PM) with some advice on your machine. You can find these PMs under "new messages" on the Forum main page.

Best of Luck with the sale of this nice machine
