The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Any news at all? Every time I open this forum, I hope to see some good news about this lost machine.

Nope. , my auntie checked the tracking again and it still says it exited the country May 5th.

Be patient, customs may be slow for these things.

Fingers crossed , good luck

What's the tracking number? I may be able to trace for you. PM me the number if you would like me to check. Did she send postal service?

My aunt has the number. I just texted her asking for it.

The thing the cylinders go on looks much larger than what I've seen on the internet!

They work without horns, but they would be very quiet

Millie... No news on your phonograph?

Nope. Nothing.

The last update was the 2 boxes exiting the country on May 5th.

Well... Sometimes and especially if the packages are heavy, or randomly, the customs stop something for inspection. In my experience this can take two or three months to arrive. I once suffered one of these with 78s from the US, and another time was with springs and needles from the UK, here near me, some 1000 away... But ..!
