1928 Son O Phone

[estott]

Very attractive machine, especially the nicely made wood horn. There was probably cloth in the grille when new but the contrast of woods is attractive as it is. If the tone arm is in good shape and you have the rubber gaskets replaced this should play very well.

There should be a lever at the base of the tone arm to trip that automatic stop. The mechanism is probably an add on, bought to update an older machine. This machine could be from as late as the mid 1920's but I think early 20's is more likely.
