What's this?

Did they use this type of pressed steel / slanted style turntable on horn machines?

I noticed that too. In my opinion, the answer is, "no".

The late Columbia ("2A"?) model equipped with piano-reflex tone-arm did use a sloping edged turntable, possibly with Garrard motor. I'm not suggesting for a minute that is where the auctioneer's Columbia reference came from - that would suggest far more delving and research into Columbia's history than any auctioneer would contemplate undertaking!

Thanks!

I see the machine in question here also uses a brake that contacts the outside diameter of the turntable. An odd pairing for such a turntable.

The Columbia 2A seems to use the same turntable and brake and speed control as in the fabulous 113A which also is 11" large

Does anyone know the final price?
