I fell in love with it when I saw it in an antique store in the late 1980's.
That's a stunning combination! I can't help but think of the gorgeous cabinet Brandon (HisMastersVoice) still had listed in the Yankee Trader recently (
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=40265) - and how I can't believe it hasn't sold. If I actually owned a mahogany disc machine, I'd snatch it up in a New York Minute.
Best,

Thanks Fran! I wish I could have taken better photos though. The original ribbon mahogany finish and color look better and more vivid in person.

That's a great pedestal, I've not seen one quite like it. I agree the ability to hold only ten inch records suggests an early date and, if Columbia, maybe for the mahogany Columbia AR? I looked at V.K. Chews Talking Machines (Science Museum 1981) but could not see early Disc Graphophone cabinets. Perhaps you have a different book? I would like to find it.

I must admit that it is a long time since I have set eyes on the Chew book, and I may have misremembered where I saw the page of line-drawings of Columbia Disc Graphophone cases which I have in mind.
https://www.intertique.com/ColumbiaGrap ... ounts.html (a useful resource which I have not met with before) illustrates an AJ ('early style with vertical crank') which has the same moulding, albeit in oak rather than mahogany.

Here's another one. Columbia Q on wood base, on Sears base, on pedestal.

Made for it! The ornate metalwork sitting on ornate metalwork. The shape of the phonograph base even matches the shape of the top of the stand.

While on a cabinet image search, I came across this decal that I thought would fit in this thread.

Is it possible to see the entire cabinet?
