The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I now have the cabinet inside and the padding I put around it removed, and in good light it doesn't look nearly as bad as it did in the poor light in the storage space where it was when I bought it. Should clean up fairly well.

And yes, the serial number inside the cabinet is the same as the one on the bedplate. When I figure out how to make the macro feature on my camera to work, I'll see if I can get shots of those.

"For now I am laying in wait for some poor unsuspecting neighbor with a strong back who will help me get the cabinet out of the car and into the building. I’ll put up some “before” pics of it when I get it in."

I'm guilty of the above! Isn't everyone on the Forum? Jerry B.

Well from the first picture it looks pretty good, except for grill being upside down. Seriously, hopefully it will clean up nicely with a little TLC. Looks like you have a good find there!

You are right. It is upside down. I hadn't noticed that yet. I will be taking the horn mechanism out to clean everything and will address that then.
