The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

There seemed to be quite a bit of interest in one of these yesterday. I thought I would share with the forum what I found for an Actuelle. It is listed on Craigslist in Portland Maine (http://maine.craigslist.org/atq/2593197228.html). This is the seller's email address [email protected]. He is asking $600. I wish it was closer to Montana.

Beautiful machine, I'd love to hear how it sounds. Thanks for sharing this!

Norfolkguy, I have one of these and they will blow you away with the sound, especially the electrical recordings. You don't live far from me, let me know and I'll be glad to show you this,and others in the collection Ed

One of these is on my short list (although Lord knows where I would put it). If it were close I might grab it. Who needs to eat for the next month after all?

Would it fit in a dog house?

Many thanks ED, sounds great! I think I could give up some food for this machine! Really amazing looking.

Ed,


Your collection is definitely worth making a pilgrimage to see. Hahaha. You should just start charging entry.

Moxie; Wish you were closer to N.C. I would love to show youall all these machines. i have done shows for the local museum and used several machines in history lessons for my students when I was teaching. I always believe that you should share knowledge and experiences with others, and I am always willing. Ed
