The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I agree. I was ready to hop in my car and drive to Michigan in the snow storm to get it! Thanks for posting it though!

The machine was sold about a week and a half ago to a forum member.

Clueless people selling, obviously. How could anyone not think that was an absolute steal at the price? In the UK anyone selling the equivalent would be asking at least six to seven times that price. You guys, Stateside, don't know how fortunate you are to see anything offered at that price.

Fortuitous, but not that common. Usually, the opposite is the case. Clueless people wanting a fortune for a machine that's only worth a fraction of the asking price.

That's the same thing as we get here but there's also a massive disconnect between private "green" sellers who think everything they have for sale is the Crown jewels and dealers who value everything at the cost of a tin of peas........until they want to sell something, of course.

I still believe US collectors have by far the best opportunities seeing as you also have Craigslist and other online outlets for private sellers.
