Thank you Georg! I sold two other phonographs so that I could get this one!

Quality, not quantity and you can't go wrong...

Thanks for the purchase, it's a nice looking and sounding machine but was time to let something go.

I understand fully! Plus, having two small Columbia’s from the 1890’s was a bit much. Also, the Eagle which i kept, was my first Columbia! I had been wanting a larger Columbia cylinder phonograph for sometime!

Thanks again!

Congratulations on getting your machine. I bought mine some years ago, but I'm still looking for good original 6" cylinders.

I have seen them pop up on eBay on occasion and they can go pretty quick!

By the way, Blizz was able to sell me a horn for this machine!

One of my favorite Graphophones and yours is particularly nice. But you might need a line of credit to buy many 6" XLP records!

Yeah! I know they can be pretty expensive! But, in the meantime I will look for more Columbia Cylinder Records!

Well done Paul! You can play those 6 inchers if you’re able to find one!

That’s the next trick! Finding one.
