Yeah, I gave up saving for that a while ago, it was too much for me ti take on, now I am focusing on fixing machines I already have (none of my phonographs have horns) and getting records I have always wanted

thats my trusy graphophone type C of 1897 also refered to here in the netherlands as hernia phone because of its 3 spring heavy bell & tainter motor the big black phonograph recording horn was a gift from my friend harry belle who is no longer with us harry belle was a pioneer collector here in the netherlands with a large collection he started in the 1950s and for some years had his own museum he was also the author of the book ''spreekmachines'' wich means talking machines

harry died last year in may at the age of 82 i stil miss him regularly
the strange horn on the gramophone on my foto in green and gold is a regal horn with its caracterisic ribs wich was made by columbia for edison bell, junophone and other brittish B makes
the grammphone on the book cover is a rare g & t machine from spain if you ever get the chance to go to paris visit the phono galerie you'll see a lot of rare items not unlike the gram, above

I very much agree about the "Hernia-phone," but the 3 spring motor isn't a Bell & Tainter. It appeared in 1897 as one of the motors available for the Type C Graphophone.
